Cloud Solutions Architect and DevOps Engineer

Designed and simple and scalable hosting architecture based on Elastic Beanstalk for a client experiencing significant growth and slow response times.
Described my proposed architecture in plain language ensuring my client understood how it works and how costs will be calculated for it

Completed a job simulation involving building a hypothetical new VPN product for Verizon’s Cloud Computing team.
Used command line Python to test whether Verizon’s VPN met the cloud-native traits, i.e. redundancy, resiliency and least-privilege.
Presented research insights and security recommendations via Powerpoint.

In my postgraduate program in cloud computing, I gained a comprehensive understanding of key topics essential for working with cloud technologies. I started with the fundamentals of cloud computing, learning about deployment models (private, public, hybrid) and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). I explored cloud architecture and design, focusing on creating scalable and resilient infrastructures while evaluating different cloud platforms. Security was a major focus, and I delved into securing cloud environments, including encryption, identity management, and compliance. I also learned about virtualization and containerization, including technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. Cloud service management was another key area, where I studied resource management, cost optimization, and governance in the cloud. Additionally, I gained insights into distributed systems and cloud networking, as well as cloud storage solutions and databases like AWS S3 and DynamoDB. Automation and orchestration tools such as Terraform and Ansible were covered, enabling me to manage cloud resources efficiently. The program also emphasized DevOps practices, including continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and cloud development, including serverless architectures and deploying applications in the cloud. This wide-ranging curriculum has equipped me with the skills necessary for roles in cloud engineering, DevOps, and cloud architecture.

In my postgraduate program in wireless telecommunications, I gained an in-depth understanding of the key principles and technologies that drive modern communication systems. I started with wireless communication systems, focusing on the fundamentals of radio waves, modulation, and transmission techniques. Network planning and design were also crucial areas, where I learned about the layout and optimization of wireless networks to ensure efficient coverage and performance. Signal processing was another essential topic, where I studied methods to enhance signal clarity and minimize interference. I explored mobile network architectures, including the structure of cellular systems and protocols used in communication. Radio frequency (RF) engineering played a significant role, covering the design, operation, and testing of RF systems. Additionally, I learned about the latest wireless technologies, such as LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi, and their applications in real-world scenarios. This program provided me with a solid foundation in wireless telecommunications, preparing me for roles in network design, mobile communication, and RF engineering.

In my bachelor's program in electronics and telecommunications, I developed a strong foundation in both electronics and communication technologies. I started with electronic circuits, where I learned about circuit design, components, and troubleshooting. The program also covered telecommunications systems, focusing on the infrastructure and technologies used for transmitting data over long distances. Signal processing was another key area, where I studied techniques for manipulating and analyzing signals to improve transmission quality. I gained practical knowledge of microprocessors, which are central to modern electronic devices, and networking, where I learned about data communication, protocols, and network design. Additionally, I explored digital communication, studying how digital signals are transmitted and received in communication systems. This broad curriculum equipped me with the skills to work in various areas of electronics and telecommunications, including network design, circuit development, and signal processing.
