What I'm looking for

I seek roles building secure, automated cloud-native platforms and MLOps pipelines at companies valuing automation, observability, and collaboration.

Hi, I’m Francis Umeh — a results-driven DevOps & MLOps Engineer with over 5 years of experience architecting, automating, and scaling cloud-native infrastructure and machine learning workflows across AWS and Microsoft Azure.

I have engineered multi-cloud architectures and CI/CD ecosystems, increasing release velocity and reducing deployment failures through automation, GitOps practices, and robust quality gates.

I design secure, observable platforms using Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/OpenShift), Istio service mesh with mTLS, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and unified observability pipelines to maintain high uptime and reduce latency.

I accelerate provisioning with IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep), automate ML model deployment with Kubeflow/MLflow/Azure ML, and embed DevSecOps and cost governance to deliver resilient, compliant production systems.
