I’m a cloud native engineer focused on Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and building scalable systems.
I’m currently deepening my expertise in Kubernetes and cloud platforms while working on initiatives that expand access to technology and education in Africa.
I’m particularly interested in platform engineering, cloud security, and designing systems that work in real-world, resource-constrained environments.
- Kubernetes (CKA preparation and hands-on labs)
- Terraform and infrastructure as code
- Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP)
- Building Loakit — a platform for accessible cloud education
I document parts of my journey and thoughts here:

I’m actively growing my presence in the cloud native and open source space, with a focus on:
- Community building in South Africa
- Knowledge sharing through talks and workshops
- Supporting early-stage engineers entering cloud
I drive like a mageza.
