Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer
I build the infrastructure layer that lets product teams ship with speed, confidence, and zero firefighting. Cloud platforms, Kubernetes, developer tooling — from first principles to production scale.
Across AWS, Azure, and GCP — designing infrastructure that is observable, recoverable, and developer-friendly.
Stabilizing, scaling, and operating production Kubernetes clusters with advanced scheduling, autoscaling, and GitOps-driven delivery.
Building self-service IDPs with Backstage — software catalogs, golden path templates, and scaffolded onboarding that reduce toil for engineering teams.
Full-stack observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK. Built read-only AI agents that autonomously diagnose live incidents and reduce MTTR without human escalation.
Self-hosting and operating Apache Kafka (Strimzi) and Cassandra at scale, plus AWS MSK and Keyspaces for hybrid event-streaming architectures.
Designing and executing on-prem-to-cloud migrations, multi-account AWS foundations, VPN/Direct Connect hybrid networks, and disaster recovery strategies.
Repeatable, multi-environment pipelines with Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible. GitOps-first delivery with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps.
High-impact projects and the measurable results they produced.
Led the full architectural redesign and migration of a high-traffic flight booking system from EC2 to Kubernetes on EKS. Redesigned the deployment model, introduced health checks with Liveness and Readiness probes, and implemented Karpenter for node autoscaling — transforming Tramango into Nigeria's fastest online travel agency.
Designed and implemented a warm standby disaster recovery architecture. Automated replication procedures, encoded the entire DR strategy in IaC, and ran exercises with executive stakeholders — a key factor in securing a $5M funding round.
Built a read-only AI agent integrated with CloudWatch logs, pod states, metrics, and traces. The agent autonomously analyses live production incidents, surfaces root causes, and suggests remediation steps — directly reducing MTTR across multiple client environments.
Established a full Internal Developer Platform using Backstage — service catalog, golden path scaffolding templates, and automated environment provisioning workflows. Eliminated the "ask the platform team" bottleneck for common infrastructure tasks.
Deployed production-grade Kafka via Strimzi and Cassandra for distributed, low-latency workloads on Kubernetes. Managed topic replication, partition strategies, compaction, and token-aware replication. Integrated AWS MSK and Keyspaces for hybrid architectures.
Built Terraform and Terragrunt automation frameworks used across 30+ client environments. Standardised multi-account AWS foundations with Control Tower, automated VPC architectures, EKS clusters, and RDS instances — reducing provisioning time by over 60%.
Leading cloud migrations, Kubernetes platform engineering, IDP development with Backstage, self-hosted Kafka and Cassandra operations, and AI-powered ops tooling for enterprise clients across AWS, Azure, and IBM environments.
Engaged with 30+ clients, delivering AWS Well-Architected reviews, serverless migrations, RAG systems on Bedrock, and multi-account AWS foundations with Control Tower and Organizations.
Spearheaded cloud infrastructure foundation, EC2-to-EKS migration, disaster recovery strategy, and CI/CD automation. Contributed directly to a $5M Series A funding round by demonstrating operational maturity.
Built production-grade payment backend in Django, led migration to Amazon ECS, developed CI/CD pipelines with AWS native tools, and created monitoring solutions tracking 200+ operational metrics.
Whether you're modernising a legacy system, scaling a Kubernetes platform, or want to discuss how an Internal Developer Platform could transform your engineering team — I'm open to the conversation.
