More than 8+ years architecting resilient infrastructure and distributed systems across AWS, Kubernetes and hybrid cloud environments.
Building scalable cloud platforms and integrating AI-driven automation from agent-based troubleshooting to MLOps workflows.
I am a Cloud and Platform Engineer with 8+ years of experience architecting, deploying and operating resilient infrastructure and distributed systems across public cloud and hybrid environments.
Deep expertise in cloud architecture (AWS), container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS/ECS/Fargate), DevOps automation, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, observability and production reliability.
Proven ability to deliver scalable, secure and cost-efficient platform solutions for mission-critical systems, including finance and large-scale services. Notable contributor to M-PESA - one of Africa's largest fintech platforms.
Currently expanding into AI/MLOps building and deploying GenAI and agentic AI applications within Kubernetes-based cloud environments.
Supported over 600+ AWS customers across compute, networking and Kubernetes (EKS), resolving complex production issues in distributed cloud environments. Specialized in diagnosing system failures, optimizing cloud-native workloads and improving reliability for containerized applications at scale. Provided deep technical troubleshooting and architectural guidance across core AWS services, helping customers design resilient and scalable systems.
Designed, implemented and supported large-scale telecommunications and infrastructure systems, ensuring high availability and reliability across critical services. Worked across both cloud and on-premise environments to deploy and configure systems, automate workflows and improve operational efficiency using DevOps practices. Contributed to building and maintaining scalable infrastructure by combining system engineering with automation and continuous delivery approaches.
Supported infrastructure systems powering payment and transaction platforms, ensuring system stability and performance in production environments. Focused on monitoring, troubleshooting and maintaining services critical to transaction processing and system availability. Built foundational expertise in system operations, incident management and infrastructure support within a high-throughput environment.
Led technical delivery of the world's first mobile overdraft service. Architected high-availability systems handling millions of daily transactions.
Enabled secure, PIN-based integrations with 3rd party apps including Google Store, powering M-PESA's developer ecosystem.
Led successful migration of legacy financial systems to Kubernetes and Docker, improving scalability and reducing operational overhead.
Built an autonomous AI agent using LangChain and Ollama that assesses Kubernetes cluster health via MCP tools — running entirely locally.
Developed automation scripts for proactive monitoring and alerting, significantly reducing MTTR across M-PESA infrastructure.
Delivered card-based mobile payments integration, enabling seamless payment experiences across the M-PESA ecosystem.
I'm always open to discussing cloud engineering, platform engineering and AI-driven infrastructure opportunities.
