Uchenna Festus Eze
@uchennafestuseze
Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in AWS/Azure cloud automation, CI/CD, and Kubernetes reliability.
What I'm looking for
I bring over 9 years of hands-on DevOps experience, specializing in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and automation for cloud-native systems. I focus on building reliable, scalable platforms on AWS, Azure, and GCP with container orchestration and Infrastructure as Code.
I build and enhance delivery workflows using DroneCI and Argo CD (and Jenkins where needed) to automate builds and deployments and improve time-to-market. I use Terraform and CloudFormation to provision infrastructure consistently, and I design Docker and Kubernetes solutions that increase deployment efficiency and system reliability.
Operational excellence is core to how I work: I troubleshoot and remediate infrastructure issues, run monitoring with Elastic Stack/Prometheus/Grafana, and set up proactive alerting. I also strengthen security through IAM policies, security groups, and SSL/TLS, while collaborating cross-functionally to align operational requirements with business goals.
