What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative role focused on cloud infrastructure, automation, and DevSecOps where I can drive scalable, secure systems and continue learning while mentoring others.

I am a Mechanical Engineer turned DevOps and Cloud Engineer focused on building secure, automated, and scalable systems using AWS, containers, and infrastructure-as-code.

I have designed and deployed AWS VPCs supporting IPv4 and IPv6 with IPAM, implemented multi-VPC architectures using Terraform and Transit Gateway, and developed event-driven automation for EC2 management with Lambda, API Gateway, and GitHub webhooks. I dockerized a MERN application for AWS ECS, built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, integrated Semgrep for scheduled security scans, and converted console-provisioned infrastructure into Terraform using AWS2TF.

In customer-facing roles I maintained a high CSAT with over 80% five-star ratings, resolved integration issues such as Bitbucket-to-Jenkins webhooks, implemented SAST/SCA/secrets scanning pipelines across Azure Pipelines, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions, wrote SQL in Metabase, and mentored new hires to accelerate onboarding.

I hold AWS certifications including Solutions Architect – Associate and Cloud Practitioner, and I graduated with a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Benin. I bring a pragmatic, automation-first approach and a track record of delivering measurable improvements in availability, security, and developer velocity.
