Hello, world. I'm
I turn manual, 3 AM-breaking deployments into 1-min automated pipelines with AWS + Ansible + Terraform.
No more SSH-ing into prod. Featured: 15-Module Ansible Lab with real terminal.
Training 30+ African DevOps engineers. Open to Remote Roles.

# Stop SSH-ing into prod.
My journey in tech started 15 years ago running a high-pressure cybercafe. That experience taught me a fundamental truth: real users don't care about your stack—they care that the system works. Downtime = lost revenue immediately.
I moved from physical hardware to cloud, obsessed with one thing: Reliability. Today I help teams stop SSH-ing into prod. I build 1-min automated pipelines: Lint → Dry-Run → Deploy with GitHub Actions + Ansible + Terraform.
My approach:
Beyond engineering, I co-mentor 30+ engineers at DevOps Micro Internship (DMI) across Africa and audited 40+ IaC repos for production-grade quality.
If your team needs an engineer who can architect, automate, and document production infrastructure that scales without the stress — I am open to Remote roles.

Intermediate - Real projects
Challenge: Manual SSH deploys, no checks, 3 AM firefights.
Solution: Built GitHub Actions pipeline with 6 guards: yamllint, ansible-lint, shellcheck, --syntax-check, --check --diff, auto-deploy. Template now reused as team standard.
Result: Run #1 failed at 2m 11s catching errors before prod. Run #2 passed at 1m 18s. Zero SSH.
Challenge: Ansible learning curve causes config errors and slow onboarding.
Solution: Built structured curriculum: Ad-hoc → Inventory → Playbooks → Roles → Jinja2 → Vault AES-256 → Dynamic Inventory → Collections → Capstone.
Result: Used across DMI community to train 30+ engineers, cuts time-to-productivity.
Challenge: Manual provisioning causing environment drift and hours of effort.
Solution: Modular IaC with Terraform + Ansible for full stack (VPC, Subnets, ALB, RDS).
Result: Cut config time by ~60%, 100% consistency, zero drift.
Challenge: High availability during traffic spikes.
Solution: 3-node cluster (1 control + 2 workers), pod scheduling, service routing.
Result: Resilient, self-healing, auto-scaling.
Challenge: No visibility into microservices health.
Solution: GitOps with ArgoCD + Prometheus, Grafana, Zipkin tracing.
Result: Full observability, proactive incident detection.
Challenge: After incidents, docs get skipped, mistakes repeat.
Solution: Python tool takes raw incident report → auto-generates structured Notion KB entry using Groq Llama 3.3 70B. Runs on free tools.
Result: Hours of docs → 30-second workflow. Submitted to Notion MCP Challenge.

Stop SSH-ing into prod. Every project follows Lint → Dry-Run → Deploy. Same template that went 2m 11s ❌ → 1m 18s ✅

I help teams stop SSH-ing into prod. If you need 1-min pipelines that don't break at 3 AM, let's talk. Open to remote roles.
