Chukwunonso Agbawo

As a seasoned DevOps/DevSecOps Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience, I bring a proven track record of driving secure, scalable, and efficient IT operations across diverse infrastructures. My expertise spans the entire SDLC, with specialization in:

1. Software Build & Release, CI/CD, and Automation using Jenkins, Maven, GitHub Actions, Docker,Ansible, Terraform, Argo CD, and Kubernetes
2. Infrastructure Management across IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, IaC, and on-premises environments
3. Cloud Engineering with AWS and Azure, including provisioning, monitoring, hybrid connectivity, and cost optimization
4. Configuration Management & Orchestration for Linux, Windows, RedHat, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Oracle Solaris
5. Security Integration (DevSecOps); embedding security into pipelines with tools for SAST, DAST, NeuVector, and compliance frameworks

With a detail-oriented approach and strong problem-solving skills, I have successfully led and delivered multiple projects that optimized deployment pipelines, enhanced system security, and ensured operational excellence.

I thrive on collaboration, adaptability, and continuous learning, always exploring new tools to improve performance, streamline deployments, and harden security.
