Experience

From the support desk to the whiteboard

Since 2018 I have worked every layer of the job: answering the incident, fixing the platform, and deciding what the platform should look like in the first place.

  1. Sep 2024 – Jun 2025United Kingdom · Hybrid

    Solutions Architect

    Achel Group

    Worked with product and leadership teams on cloud strategy and turned their requirements into reference architectures and migration plans. Designed multi-account landing zones and core networking, set the DevOps standards for branching, testing and approvals, ran Well-Architected reviews and led migrations with AWS MGN. I also ran architecture clinics and mentored engineers on Terraform, Ansible and Kubernetes.

  2. Aug 2023 – Sep 2024United Kingdom · Hybrid

    Cloud Engineer

    Achel Group

    Built and ran AWS platform services across multiple accounts. Provisioned production EKS clusters, standardised Terraform modules and Ansible roles, built CI/CD with image scanning and progressive delivery, moved relational workloads onto Aurora, and pulled observability together in CloudWatch, Prometheus and Grafana to bring recovery times down.

  3. Aug 2018 – Jan 2022Lagos, Nigeria

    Cloud Support Engineer

    GIGMO Solutions Ltd

    First- and second-line support across Azure workloads: triage, root-cause analysis and restores within SLA. I looked after Azure AD, RBAC and conditional access, tuned Azure Monitor alerts until they stopped crying wolf, delivered infrastructure with Terraform and ARM through Azure DevOps, and tested backup and recovery with Recovery Services Vault.

Education

Two degrees, one thread

Feb 2022 – Jun 2023United Kingdom

Master of Business Administration (MBA)

University of the West of Scotland

Taken between my support years and my move into engineering. It is the reason I am at ease talking budgets, risk and trade-offs with people who will never read a line of Terraform.

Aug 2013 – Jun 2017Lagos, Nigeria

BSc Business Administration

University of Lagos

My first degree. It gave me the business grounding that, a year later, I started pairing with hands-on cloud work on the Azure support desk.
