Result-oriented DevOps Engineer optimizing CI/CD, automation, and cloud infrastructure for operational excellence.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Result-Oriented DevOps Engineer with expertise in optimizing CI/CD pipelines, automation, cloud infrastructure, and configuration management. At African Export and Import Bank, I designed and developed an enterprise Visitor Management System, architected and deployed it as a containerized solution, and ensured environment consistency with Docker.
I focus on measurable operational impact: I implemented Git-based CI/CD to automate build, testing, and deployment, reducing manual deployment errors, and used Jenkins to improve low build time and time-to-market. I’ve also driven AWS cost optimization, migrated on-premises systems to AWS for scalability and flexibility, and built secure IAM users/roles/policies; earlier, I integrated SonarQube with Jenkins, automated deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible, and used CloudWatch for proactive monitoring. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Information Technology and I enjoy contributing to innovative projects that prioritize reliability and excellence.
