Who I Am

About Me

Senior Cloud & SRE Engineer with a passion for building reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure at scale. I specialize in Kubernetes, OpenShift, Ansible Automation, and cloud-native architectures on AWS and Azure.

With over 4 years of hands-on production experience, I have led infrastructure migrations, designed enterprise-grade OpenShift platforms, reduced operational overhead through automation, and mentored teams across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

I hold a Red Hat Certified Architect Level VI — the highest Red Hat certification level — and am an active open-source contributor on GitHub and Medium.
