DevOps engineer driving cloud reliability, CI/CD automation, and cost-efficient infrastructure for banking environments.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven DevOps engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure management, deployment automation, and API reliability for financial services.
At Access Bank I designed and managed AWS/Azure infrastructure using IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation), configured and optimized Azure resources, and containerized applications with Rancher Kubernetes to improve availability and reduce costs.
I developed and automated CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment times by 40%, managed and monitored APIs to ensure reliable functionality, and collaborated closely with development teams to align cloud solutions with project goals.
