Work History

DEVOPS ENGINEER

Data Service Group
Bear, DE
03.2020 - Current
  • Lead the automation and optimization of multi-cloud (AWS and Azure) infrastructures, ensuring seamless deployment and high availability.
  • Worked with a team of engineers to design and implement CI/CD pipelines, providing guidance on best practices and troubleshooting complex issues, and conducting regular knowledge-sharing sessions on cloud automation, security, and DevOps practices.
  • Collaborated across departments to implement secure and repeatable infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices, and streamline deployments using modern CI/CD pipelines.
  • Successfully reduced deployment times by up to 60%, lowering cloud operational costs by 25%, and improving system reliability and incident response.
  • Developed Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks to standardize infrastructure deployment across multiple environments, reducing configuration drift.
  • Provisioned and managed Azure cloud resources (VMs, storage, Key Vault, App Services, AKS) using Terraform modules, promoting reusable and consistent deployments.
  • Enhanced DevSecOps posture by incorporating static code analysis (SonarQube) and container image scanning (Trivy) into Azure DevOps pipelines.
  • Reduced application deployment time by 60% through the implementation of fully automated CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Terraform, incorporating Ansible for configuration management.
  • Automated deployment and configuration of microservices on AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) using Helm charts.
  • Enforced AWS security best practices by implementing IAM policies, encryption, and regular security audits, thereby reducing security incidents.
  • Established role-based access control and secrets management using Azure Key Vault and Azure AD, increasing security and compliance.
  • Integrated Prometheus, Grafana, and AWS CloudWatch for continuous monitoring, providing real-time visibility into system performance, and reducing incident response time.
  • Minimized cloud operational costs by 25% through resource optimization, auto-scaling configurations, and reserved instance utilization.
  • Integrated Docker containers into the development and deployment pipeline, ensuring consistent environments across all stages of the development lifecycle.
  • Improved scalability and reduced infrastructure costs by deploying serverless infrastructures for microservices-based applications using Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, and API Gateway.
  • Improved system reliability by introducing blue-green and canary deployment strategies via Azure Pipelines.
  • Provided mentorship to junior engineers on DevOps best practices and tools usage.
  • Created CI and CD pipelines with Jenkins and Docker to automate the build process of applications.
  • Configured, managed, and monitored cloud-based services such as AWS EC2, S3, EBS, ELB, RDS using Terraform and Ansible.
  • Implemented containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes for faster delivery cycles.
  • Maintained version control systems such as GitLab for all software development projects.
  • Deployed microservices on Kubernetes clusters in order to increase scalability and availability of services across multiple regions.
  • Implemented systems automation using scripting languages like Python and Bash.
  • Collaborated with developers in order to troubleshoot application related issues quickly.
  • Coordinated with other teams for successful rollouts of new features or bug fixes.
  • Participated in disaster recovery exercises to test reliability of system.

Research Assistant

Morgan State University
Baltimore, MD
08.2019 - 02.2020
  • Conducted advanced research in analytical and organic chemistry, contributing to high-impact projects through systematic experimentation, data analysis, and process optimization.
  • Applied analytical thinking, technical precision, and cross-functional collaboration to support scientific innovation, while maintaining strict adherence to safety and compliance protocols.
  • Contributed to the synthesis and characterization of novel organic compounds, co-authoring a peer-reviewed publication, demonstrating version control, documentation discipline, and cross-functional teamwork.
  • Developed and standardized lab protocols, increasing process reproducibility by 30%, paralleling DevOps best practices for consistent, repeatable deployments.
  • Utilized spectroscopy (NMR, UV-Vis, FTIR) and chromatography (HPLC, GC-MS) techniques to analyze chemical compositions, ensuring precise and reliable data interpretation.
  • Automated inventory management workflows and optimized chemical storage processes are analogous to resource management and cost efficiency in cloud infrastructure.

JUNIOR LINUX SYSTEM ENGINEER

Moadris
Lagos, Nigeria
09.2015 - 06.2019
