With my brilliant interpersonal, analytical, verbal and written expression skills and, as a network, hardware and Cloud solutions engineer, I am seeking the position where I can utilize my professional skills in a reputable organization to enhance the vision of the firm in accordance with the rules and regulation of the organization, and also have the ability to take up professional challenges and make use of my technical strength to augments the goals of a growing global-minded organization.

AWS cloud professional with proven track record in designing and implementing scalable cloud solutions. Known for thorough attention to detail and ability to drive complex projects from inception to completion. Highly collaborative team player with focus on meeting organizational goals and adapting to evolving project requirements.

I have been involved in many projects from the planning stage to the deployment and maintenance stage, but one that was really tasking and I was very proud of my team being able to resolve the issues in a record time completion, was one of our clients which 2 of very important micro services had issues with verifying prescriptions, we were able to quickly trace the issue down to the private server not receiving traffic request from the loadbalancer which was as a result of inbound rule misconfigurations with the security group.

I corrected these errors and the services were up and running in record time.
