Roles, and what shipped in them

Cloud / DevOps Engineer

Cloud Chariots

An AWS Partner delivering cloud solutions, app development, startup enablement and talent development across Africa.

What I did

• Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins, GitHub Actions and GitLab CI covering build, test and deploy, which cut the manual work in a release and made deployments repeatable.

• Containerised application workloads and ran them on Amazon ECS, EKS and Fargate under a high-availability design with no single point of failure.
• Set up CloudWatch monitoring and observability, so production incidents were caught early and resolved faster.
• Brought automation, infrastructure as code and observability into how the engineering teams ship.

What shipped

• The Enterprise Staff Portal: a serverless leave and payroll-advance approval system on Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SES and EventBridge.
