Gertrude Uchay

I am a Cloud Engineer with hands-on experience building, automating, and supporting cloud infrastructure on AWS. My work focuses on creating reliable, secure, and scalable environments that enable development teams to deploy faster and operate more efficiently.

I have practical experience designing cloud architectures using core AWS services such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, RDS, and CloudWatch, with a strong emphasis on security, cost awareness, and high availability. I regularly use Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform and CloudFormation to provision and manage environments in a repeatable and version-controlled way.

From a DevOps perspective, I build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and related tooling to automate testing, container builds, and deployments. I work with Docker for containerization and have exposure to Kubernetes (EKS) and ECS for orchestrating workloads in production and staging environments.

I’m comfortable working in Linux environments, troubleshooting system and deployment issues, and collaborating closely with developers and QA/operations teams to ensure applications are production-ready. I value clean automation, clear documentation, and proactive monitoring, and I enjoy improving systems for resilience, scalability, and operational efficiency.

I’m particularly interested in roles where I can continue to grow through real-world, production-grade work, contribute meaningfully to cloud and DevOps decisions, and support teams building impactful products in cloud-first or hybrid environments.
