@ibukundairo
Senior platform engineer and founder specializing in SRE, DevOps, and scalable cloud platforms.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a founder and senior engineering leader with deep expertise in platform engineering, SRE, and cloud-native architectures. I built and scaled a fully remote engineering team of 30+ and delivered 20+ production-grade MVPs and platforms.
I've led observability and reliability efforts across large microservice landscapes, reducing critical failures and MTTR through SLO-driven alerting and OpenTelemetry instrumentation. I architect secure, multi-tenant AWS and GCP platforms and codify infra-as-code with Terraform and GitOps.
As a hands-on engineer, I have been the sole DevOps/SRE hire through startup growth stages, implemented CI/CD and GitOps pipelines, and secured significant cloud credits to enable sustainable infrastructure scaling. I also mentor junior developers through talent academies and coaching programs.
I combine technical leadership with business-oriented strategy, driving engineering best practices, reusable libraries, and operational playbooks to increase delivery velocity and reliability. I seek roles where I can lead platform strategy, mentor teams, and deliver resilient cloud systems.
