KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a passionate, results-oriented Fullstack & DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing, automating, and managing reliable, secure, and scalable enterprise systems. I bridge development and operations through CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and environment reliability engineering, with a strong foundation in Linux and AWS.
In my current role as Software Engineer Lead (DevOps & Delivery Operations), I lead end-to-end delivery for multiple regulated aviation clients—owning architecture, development, CI/CD automation, and environment management. I’ve implemented compliant workflows and reporting, built reusable UI components (reducing development time by 50%), and delivered measurable deployment improvements (50% increase in deployments; deployment cycle reduced from two weeks to multiple times a week) by using Jenkins, Terraform, AWS, and IaC with Terraform and Ansible (reducing deployment time and manual errors by 40%).
