open to new roles

Hi, I'm Ugochi —
I build infrastructure that doesn't wake people up at 3am.

I design cloud infrastructure where deployments are repeatable, monitoring is proactive, and downtime is the exception, not the expectation.

$ whoami

$ cat mission.txt
Deploy apps that don't break on Fridays.
$ kubectl get pods

$ terraform apply -auto-approve
Apply complete!

Behind the Engineer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My path into DevOps wasn't traditional. As an Economics graduate, I explored different areas of tech before discovering cloud engineering. What started as a career transition became a genuine fascination with how software is deployed, automated, and operated at scale.

Today, I design and automate cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions. I enjoy solving deployment challenges, automating repetitive tasks, and designing systems that are reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain. I'm driven by the challenge of building infrastructure that gives teams the confidence to deploy faster without compromising reliability.
