Cloud DevOps Engineer
About Me
I am a Cloud DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of progressive experience in DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). My expertise lies in building, deploying, and maintaining highly available and scalable cloud environments. I have extensive experience working with AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana, SQL, Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, and New Relic. Throughout my career, I have successfully automated deployment pipelines, monitored cloud-based applications, and implemented SRE best practices to maximize system reliability.
I am skilled at creating Grafana dashboards, configuring alerting systems, and producing detailed documentation to support team efficiency and onboarding. I am committed to operational excellence and innovation, passionate about leveraging DevOps and SRE methodologies to enhance infrastructure resilience and drive continuous improvement in cloud environments.
In my current role as Team Lead Cloud Engineering at Moniepoint Inc, I lead a cross-functional team to design and optimize cost-efficient architectures across multiple cloud platforms including GCP, Oracle Cloud, and DigitalOcean. I have driven CI/CD modernization efforts, migrating pipelines from Jenkins to Harness CI/CD, which has reduced operational overhead and accelerated software delivery.
I have championed infrastructure automation using Terraform, reducing manual provisioning tasks by 30% and enabling consistent multi-cloud environments. Additionally, I have improved observability by implementing Kubernetes monitoring tools and strengthened system reliability by managing enterprise-grade data streaming solutions using Kafka.
My experience also includes enhancing global security and availability by configuring Cloudflare services, implementing GitOps-driven continuous deployment pipelines with ArgoCD, and proactively monitoring payment transaction systems to ensure high success rates. I am a dedicated professional who collaborates effectively with partners and consistently resolves production issues to maintain seamless operations.
I continuously seek to expand my knowledge and skills, holding several certifications including Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate, Google Associate Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Administrator, and HashiCorp Certified Terraform Associate. I am passionate about teaching and have educated over 300 students on DevOps concepts and project implementation.
