I'm a DevOps Engineer passionate about building robust, scalable cloud infrastructure that empowers development teams to ship faster. My work lies at the intersection of cloud architecture and automation, creating systems that are not only highly available but are meticulously built for performance and reliability.
Currently, I'm a Cloud and Infrastructure Engineer at Freeway Fleet Systems, where I architect and manage AWS infrastructure powering fleet management solutions across Africa. I design CI/CD pipelines, serverless architectures, and comprehensive monitoring systems that ensure 99.9% uptime.
In the past, I've had the opportunity to build infrastructure across a variety of settings — from enterprise monitoring platforms at SplitPoint Solutions to cloud consulting at Sfikile Consulting. I've also mentored aspiring developers as a Python tutor at Durban University of Technology.
When I'm not optimizing infrastructure, I'm exploring new cloud technologies, teaching about open-source DevOps tools, or sharing knowledge through technical writing.
