Voke Ogigbah
About Me
Cloud and DevSecOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing, automating, and securing cloud-native infrastructure and delivery pipelines across AWS and Azure. I build production-grade systems with Terraform and CloudFormation, enforce IAM least-privilege controls, and deliver resilient architectures with observability and security built in.
My hands-on stack includes Kubernetes/EKS, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Python/Bash automation, CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana. I focus on measurable outcomes including faster deployments, lower cloud cost, and stronger security posture.
I am AWS certified and publish practical cloud engineering guides on Medium, documenting real-world implementations across serverless, CI/CD, containerization, and multi-tier AWS architecture.
