I am also skilled in the use of AWS and it’s services like Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, CodePipeline, ApiGateway, IAM, Networking, etc. to architect and build solutions and infrastructure that solves business problems. SKILLS • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform, • DevOps & Automation: CodeBuild, CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Ansible, Git • Containerization & Orchestration: ECS, EKS, Kubernetes, Docker • Monitoring & Security: Grafana, Prometheus, Cloud Watch, Amazon VPC and Security tools. • Databases: MySQL, Amazon Aurora, DynamoDB • Scripting: Bash WORK EXPERIENCE ESJO Innovations Limited | DevOps Engineer | March 2025 – Present • Architected and managed scalable AWS cloud infrastructure by using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code), promoting repeatable and version-controlled environment provisioning. • Designed and implemented Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using AWS CodePipeline to automate the build, test, and deployment phases of client applications. • Leveraged the use of LLM (Ollama and Gemini) to design an automated system that generates a docker file in any programming language based on organization specific requirements reducing time spent in task by 15%. • Implemented containerization strategies for microservices by building, testing, and packaging an application using GitLab CI for source code management and continuous integrations and Docker for deployment. • Applied cloud security practices by managing access through security principles like strict IAM principles, security group and NACLs configurations, WAF configurations, etc. • Configured centralized monitoring (leveraging CloudWatch and Grafana) to track the performance and availability of deployed applications, enabling proactive identification and resolution of operational failures. Landmark Africa | System Operations Specialist | Jan 2023 - March 2025 • Part of the team in charge of migration of internal facility management tools from an on-premises Linux server environment to a scalable AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS), reducing annual maintenance costs by 20% and improving system uptime. • Developed and maintained infrastructure configuration scripts (using Bash/Ansible) to automate the setup and teardown of nonproduction Linux virtual machines for testing facility management software updates and system integrations. • Implemented new monitoring scripts and integrated key performance metrics (CPU, Memory, Disk I/O) from critical services into a central dashboard (Grafana/CloudWatch) to preempt operational failures. • Designed a bot using Amazon Lex that produces information for newly onboarded staff about any questions they may have regarding the organization or department-specific information. • Created and maintained comprehensive technical documentation, playbooks, and runbooks for key systems administrative processes, facilitating knowledge transfer and reducing time-to-resolution for common system issues. • Created deployment scripts for deployment and management of containerized applications on Kubernetes.
