I'm DevOps Engineer

About me.

With a solid foundation in cloud computing and DevOps practices, I’m dedicated to streamlining infrastructure and deployment processes for modern, scalable applications. My hands-on experience spans cloud services like AWS, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and CI/CD pipeline automation using tools like Jenkins, GitLab, and Ansible. I also use Python to create custom automation scripts, streamline workflows, and manage cloud infrastructure. Along with Python, I have substantial experience with container orchestration using Kubernetes, which allows for efficient management of microservices and high-availability systems. I’ve implemented robust monitoring and logging solutions using tools like Grafana and ELK to ensure visibility and performance tracking across infrastructure.

My passion lies in using automation to drive innovation and streamlining complex protocols. I'm here to offer my talents and grow alongside new challenges whether you're seeking for someone to improve your cloud architecture, automate critical infrastructure, or enhance your DevOps pipeline.

HNG 11

Achievement Unlocked: HNG Internship Finalist!

I'm happy to announce that I started a thrilling new journey with HNG Tech as a DevOps Engineer, plunging right into the intense and fast-paced HNG 11 Internship! This exciting 10-stage internship program is meant to put participants to the test and push them through increasingly difficult tasks. The range of interns—from novices to seasoned pros—all seeking to hone their talents in practical settings is what really makes it stand out.

I was first intrigued to this program as a way to have fun and as a personal goal, to see how far I could push myself in a rigid, competitive environment. I had no idea how intense and fast-paced the internship would become. It was a full-on sprint through challenging problem-solving, ongoing projects, and global peer collaboration—not just a learning curve.

My role as the DevOps Engineer for Tifi.tv, a product I've been associated with from its inception, is one of my proudest achievements throughout the program. This project has been an enormous chance to widen my range of DevOps concepts, from building up the infrastructure to managing deployment pipelines, guaranteeing scalability, and optimizing CI/CD procedures. I was able to put important solutions like load balancing, containerization, automated testing, and monitoring into practice while working on Tifi.tv, ensuring that the platform functions flawlessly at all times. I'm still actively working on this project!

Given that this was my first time at HNG and that it was no small effort, I'm quite delighted to have placed in the Top 30 of over a thousand DevOps engineers! My capacity to perform well on real-world goods and adjust to high-pressure situations is reflected in this rating in addition to my technological advancement.

However, the adventure doesn't end there! I gladly encourage you to visit Tifi.tv, a platform that is always growing and getting better. It serves as evidence of how much is possible to accomplish with the correct attitude, resources, and teamwork. As we continue to develop daily, check back for more updates!
