What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my skills in cloud automation and DevOps practices.

I am a dedicated DevOps Engineer with extensive experience in cloud infrastructure and automation. Currently, I work at SAP America Inc., where I implement infrastructure automation within GCP using Terraform, significantly reducing deployment times and enhancing system reliability. My role involves deploying CI/CD pipelines and integrating monitoring tools to ensure real-time visibility and proactive incident management.

Previously, I served as a DevOps/Cloud Engineer at Slalom Consulting, where I automated infrastructure across AWS and GCP, leading to a remarkable reduction in deployment times. My journey began as a Junior Cloud Engineer at Travel Log Agency Limited in Nigeria, where I built CI/CD pipelines and designed scalable AWS environments. My educational background includes a Master's degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, equipping me with the knowledge to tackle complex security challenges in cloud environments.
