What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable cloud platforms, distributed systems, developer tooling, and observability infrastructure, with opportunities to deepen my work in SRE, platform engineering, automation, security, and production reliability.

I've managed AWS and Azure infrastructure at Dragnet Solutions, reducing monthly cloud spend by 20% through rightsizing and Saving Plans while improving secure cloud connectivity and deployment operations.

I built Forge, a CI/CD platform with artifact storage, parallel job scheduling, container isolation, and reliability testing, alongside StrongBox, a distributed secrets manager with encryption, leader election, and tamper-evident audit logs.

Across HNG, freelance contracts, and Bincom Solutions, I've automated infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions; deployed observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and Alertmanager; and supported secure Linux, Docker, networking, and PostgreSQL environments.
