Gideon Ekane
@gideonekane
Senior DevOps and platform engineer who builds reliable, secure, cost-effective cloud infrastructure.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with over seven years of experience building and scaling resilient infrastructure across telecom, adtech, and enterprise IT sectors.
I design and deploy production-ready Kubernetes clusters, automated CI/CD pipelines, and observability platforms that transform incidents into actionable insights, often driving large MTTR reductions.
I've migrated monoliths to microservices, implemented GitOps workflows, and enforced DevSecOps controls that cut security issues and deployment failures dramatically while trimming cloud costs by six figures.
I prioritize reliability, security, and developer velocity—automating lifecycle tasks, architecting disaster recovery with low RTO/RPO, and enabling zero-touch deployments for edge and cloud platforms.
