DevOps Engineer at Sterling Bank automating CI/CD pipelines and developing Microsoft Defender detection rules for compromised systems.

Nigeria
Message

At Sterling Bank, I set up tools and IT infrastructure to support teams, and implement CI/CD pipelines that automate testing, builds, and deployments. I also develop custom Microsoft Defender for Endpoint detection rules to automate the isolation and investigation of compromised systems.

I work to keep Azure environments aligned with security and compliance standards, including identity management, access control, and data protection. I also document protocols for development, testing, release management, and production support.

At Banffy, I used Terraform and Ansible to automate server setup and management, and designed CI/CD pipelines for testing, building, and deployment. I packaged applications with Docker and used Kubernetes to scale and orchestrate them.

At Paymish, I implemented CI/CD pipelines and established design patterns and practices for scalable, reliable product features. Earlier, as a Network Engineer intern at ACME software lab, I deployed and secured network infrastructure, managed DNS and VPNs, and maintained monitoring dashboards.
