Matthew Bardi

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 5 years running production financial infrastructure at a Nigerian microfinance bank. I’ve owned CI/CD pipelines, Terraform-driven Infrastructure as Code, and centralized observability across customer-facing services, improving deployment frequency by 200% without compromising stability.

I bring deep hands-on experience with AWS and Azure, backed by a security-first approach to identity, access, and secrets management. I focus on least-privilege access, Azure AD integration, audit logging, and reliable secrets handling to keep regulated systems resilient.

In my current role, I built standardized CI/CD pipeline designs with automated testing and validation gates, then delivered real operational impact through centralized monitoring and alerting. I achieved 98% proactive incident detection and also drove 30% performance gains through infrastructure optimization and scalability improvements.

Previously, I worked as a Technical Support Engineer (Azure Identity & Security escalation), where I reduced identity provisioning failures by 90% through troubleshooting Azure AD Connect sync pipelines and access remediation. I automated user lifecycle management for 5,000+ users, improved compliance posture by 75%, and cut authentication incident detection to under 5 minutes; earlier, as a System Analyst, I supported 200+ users and improved uptime to 99% while reducing incident resolution time.
