As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect with over 6 years in IT and 3+ years specializing in cloud infrastructure, I bring a comprehensive skill set to cloud engineering and DevOps roles. My journey has equipped me with expertise across multiple cloud platforms, automation frameworks, and security implementations that enable organizations to build resilient, efficient infrastructure.
At Vendease (YC W21), I played a pivotal role in their cloud infrastructure transformation, contributing to a significant 75% reduction in annual infrastructure costs through strategic migration from AWS and GCP to Nobus Cloud. I specialize in multi-cloud environment management using Infrastructure as Code principles, implementing Terraform to create reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure that reduced deployment times by 40%.
My containerization experience includes managing EKS clusters with optimized node groups that improved resource efficiency by 25%. I design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, incorporating automated testing and security scanning to ensure consistent, reliable deployments across environments.
Security is central to my approach to infrastructure design. I have built comprehensive security scanning pipelines that integrate SAST, DAST, and dependency checking, resulting in a 40% reduction in application vulnerabilities. During my time at Vendease, I collaborated with the Lead Cybersecurity Engineer to implement an enterprise security suite including MISP, OpenVAS, and DefectDojo, which enhanced threat detection capabilities by 70%.
My security expertise extends to secrets management through HashiCorp Vault and establishing secure access policies for distributed teams. I ensure all infrastructure components follow security best practices from network design to application deployment.
My foundation in IT support at Whytecleon Limited provided me with exceptional troubleshooting skills across diverse technical environments. I managed Tier 1-3 technical support tickets while maintaining strict SLA compliance and effectively resolving complex issues. My experience includes debugging API interactions, analyzing system logs, and performing root cause analysis – skills that continue to inform my approach to infrastructure reliability.
I automated system administration tasks using PowerShell, which reduced the support workload by 25% while maintaining high-quality service for over 50 internal users.
I maintain an active learning approach, constantly expanding my technical knowledge through professional development and certifications. My qualifications include AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, CompTIA Network+, A+, and Cisco CCNA Routing & Switching. I recently completed the McKinsey Forward Program, ALX Certificate in Cloud Computing and ALX Software Engineering Programme in Back-End Web Development.
With this diverse technical background and solution-oriented mindset, I deliver cloud infrastructure solutions that balance performance, security, cost-efficiency, and operational excellence.
