DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer · AWS Community Builder · DevOps Educator
Multi-cloud DevOps Engineer based in 🇨🇲 Cameroon with 5+ years of hands-on DevOps experience — designing, automating, and operating production-grade infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Open to work: full-time roles, consulting, and team training, remote worldwide.
I've delivered infrastructure for organisations across 🇨🇲 Cameroon, 🇫🇷 France, 🇺🇸 USA, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇩🇪 Germany, and 🇲🇹 Malta — helping teams cut deployment times, reduce cloud costs, and build platforms that scale reliably under real production load.
Outside engineering, I founded NextGen Playground and run Talent Forge — a mentorship program turning aspiring engineers into production-ready DevOps practitioners.
