About

Professional summary

I am a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with more than four years of experience automating CI/CD pipelines, provisioning infrastructure as code, building observability systems, and supporting cloud migrations in production fintech environments.

I am CKAD-certified and specialize in Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, Argo CD, Jenkins, Ansible, Docker, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I build reliable, scalable platforms using automation, version-controlled infrastructure, and cloud-native practices.

I have designed enterprise observability solutions with Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, Loki, and the EFK stack. My work has improved monitoring coverage, reduced alert fatigue, accelerated incident response, and strengthened SLI/SLO practices across engineering teams.

In my previous work at Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System, I helped modernize infrastructure, migrate servers to private cloud environments, automate deployments, and improve platform reliability through operational runbooks and root-cause analysis.

I also have data engineering and analytics experience using Python, SQL, Databricks, Pandas, NumPy, Power BI, and machine learning techniques. I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science and Quantitative Methods with a concentration in Predictive Analytics.

I enjoy solving complex reliability, automation, and cloud infrastructure challenges while collaborating in Agile teams to deliver secure and maintainable production systems.
