My Journey

My Story

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer, educator, and founder — passionate about building both reliable systems and reliable engineers.

I started my journey in Physics, where I graduated top of my class. I loved solving complex problems, but even more — I loved explaining them. That passion followed me into tech.

Today, I design and scale cloud-native systems for global companies, architecting automation, infrastructure, and platform reliability. I specialize in DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Cloud Engineering, ensuring systems are not just running — but resilient, observable, secure, and scalable.

Even while building systems, I found myself building people. I started Teleios — not just as another tech training program, but as an elite engineering academy focused on practical DevOps mastery, engineering discipline, and world-class readiness.

I believe that the future of Africa's tech transformation relies on both infrastructure and intellectual infrastructure. We need world-class cloud platforms — but we also need world-class engineers.

I'm also involved in open source, contributing to CNCF-related projects and cloud-native tooling, focusing on improving reliability and automation in distributed systems. I actively collaborate with global engineering communities, write documentation, review PRs, and build small features that improve developer experience.

In the long term, I'm building an AI-powered collaborative learning platform that blends peer learning, mentorship, and community — because the future of education won't just be intelligent, it will be deeply human, interactive, and immersive.

I architect systems.
I mentor engineers.
And I'm designing the future of learning and cloud engineering.
