Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer building scalable, reliable data platforms.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Cloud Infrastructure and Full Stack Engineer with 9+ years designing and operating scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I bring deep hands-on expertise in Kafka-based data pipelines, cloud-native microservices, and high-availability infrastructure on Kubernetes.
In my recent roles, I’ve owned complex infrastructure workstreams end-to-end—from architecture through on-call operations—using a metrics-first, debugging-driven approach. I’ve delivered fault-tolerant, event-driven Kafka pipelines, built .NET Core microservices deployed on ECS with Terraform-managed IaC, and improved incident performance with Datadog/ELK SLO-based alerting.
I’m passionate about solving data and storage problems at scale in fast-moving, collaborative teams. I’ve also led compliance-focused infrastructure work (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, GDPR), built RAG-based ingestion pipelines for semantic search, and created reconciliation/validation frameworks that reach 99.9% data accuracy through migrations and high-volume ETL/ELT.
