DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience building, automating, and operating cloud-native infrastructure for telecom and fintech platforms supporting 100k+ users.
I specialize in infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and observability across AWS, Azure, and OCI. My background in networking and cloud security enables me to design systems that are reliable, secure, and audit-ready.
I have supported production and staging environments for MTN group platforms and contributed to cloud connectivity, identity access management, and PCI-DSS readiness for fintech systems at Hubtel.
