What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, resilient cloud infrastructure, automate delivery workflows, optimize cloud resources, and partner with engineering teams to improve production reliability.

I'm currently improving deployment efficiency and cloud reliability at The Bulb Africa, where I automate CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitLab, optimize AWS resources, and deploy containerized workloads on Kubernetes.

I've reduced cloud costs by 25%, improved deployment efficiency by 40%, and improved application performance by 20% through AWS optimization, Docker, Kubernetes, monitoring, and root-cause investigations. Previously, at WEMA Bank, I redesigned ticket workflows to reduce backlog by 40% and built a knowledge base that reduced repeat tickets by 35%.

My foundation spans Linux systems administration, backup and disaster recovery automation, network architecture, routing, switching, and enterprise support. I bring 5+ years of experience across fintech and SaaS environments.
