Oluwatosin J.
Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer | AWS | GCP | Terraform | Kubernetes
I design, automate, and operate production-grade cloud platforms for companies that can't afford unreliable infrastructure. 5+ years building and running cloud environments across AWS and GCP. Terraform-driven infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE), SRE practices, DevSecOps pipelines, and FinOps governance. My work runs in regulated environments: fintech, healthtech, and enterprise; where uptime, compliance, and cost discipline aren't optional. What separates me from most DevOps contractors: I've operated both sides of the infrastructure lifecycle. I build the platform and I document it properly — architecture decisions, runbooks, SOPs, and operational guides that your team can actually use when I'm not there. Engineers who can write clearly are rare. I'm one of them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I BUILD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering → Multi-account AWS and GCP landing zones with IAM governance → Terraform module libraries for repeatable, auditable deployments → Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) with Istio, Helm, and Argo CD → Blue/green and zero-downtime deployment strategies SRE & Observability → SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and golden-signal monitoring → Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry dashboards → MTTR reduction. I've cut incident resolution from 45 mins to under 15 mins in production environments → Runbook design and on-call workflow standardisation DevSecOps & Compliance → Policy-as-code with Checkov, OPA, and Trivy in CI/CD pipelines → PCI-DSS, GDPR, and CIS Benchmark-aligned infrastructure → IAM least-privilege, KMS encryption, VPC hardening FinOps & Cost Governance → Cost visibility dashboards and rightsizing analysis → Savings Plans, Committed Use Discounts, budget alerting → Typically 20–35% cloud spend reduction without cutting performance Technical Documentation (Engineering-Grade) → Architecture decision records (ADRs) and infrastructure runbooks → Developer guides, API references, and operational SOPs → Cloud and DevOps long-form content for B2B SaaS and tech brands → SEO-optimised technical content that ranks because it's accurate ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW I WORK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm hands-on, structured, and outcome-driven. I don't deliver tools. I deliver working infrastructure with documentation, clear decisions logged, and a handover your team can actually use. You'll know what was built, why it was built that way, and how to operate it after the engagement ends. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CLIENTS TYPICALLY HIRE ME TO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ → Build or stabilise cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP → Introduce Terraform and CI/CD properly from scratch → Reduce MTTR and improve incident response maturity → Prepare infrastructure for security audits or compliance reviews → Cut cloud bills without sacrificing reliability → Produce technically accurate documentation that engineers trust and executives can read ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ QUICK FACTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ → AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional → Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect → AWS Security Specialty · AWS Solutions Architect · KCNA → Based in Chester, UK and available for remote engagements globally → Clear communicator, async-friendly, documentation-first approach If you need infrastructure that works, compliance that holds, and documentation that lasts. Let's talk. 📩 Send a message describing what you're building or what's broken.
