NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps and Cloud Engineering professional with over 7 years of experience in infrastructure design and deployment, expert in Azure services and Terraform. I focus on turning cloud and infrastructure decisions into measurable outcomes—reliability, security, and operational efficiency.
As a Belema Financial Technology Lead Infrastructure Engineer (2023–Present), I led enterprise infrastructure deployments and improved system reliability by 40% through firewall and virtualization platform modernization. I also enhanced system security and compliance by 30% via OS patching, hardening, and expanded monitoring with New Relic, Datadog, and Wazuh.
Previously at Tek Experts (2021–2023), I designed and optimized Azure infrastructure for 179 VMs, VNETs, AKS clusters, and storage solutions, implementing IAM structures, firewall rules, and security policies across 70 resources. I build automation through ARM/Bicep templates and scripts, and I support CI/CD reliability through stronger monitoring, provisioning, and hybrid migration coordination.
