About me
From Linux servers in Ghana to cloud platforms in the US
I started as a Linux systems administrator at the Ghana Revenue Authority, keeping 100+ servers behind national tax platforms running around the clock, and automating the routine work with Bash and Python.
Since then I have designed CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms, and Terraform-built AWS infrastructure for teams in London and the United States, with DevSecOps scanning and compliance against HIPAA, SOC 2 and CIS benchmarks built in.
I mentor teams and bridge development, operations and security to raise DevOps maturity. I also bring a finance background: an MSc in Accounting and Finance and experience supporting enterprise financial platforms.
