I'm a Platform & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer based in Lagos. I architect production systems on AWS and Azure, orchestrate Kubernetes clusters, build CI/CD pipelines with Terraform and Docker, and teach engineers to do the same on Build With JAA.

I went from a Chemistry Education degree to shipping 16+ production platforms across Nigeria, Dubai, and Amsterdam. My book From Chemistry Class to Cloud tells that story — and it's free.
