I specialize in enterprise system architecture and team leadership, with expertise in utilizing Golang, C#, and Python, Kafka, and Terraform for Infrastructure as Code to develop and deliver products to AWS cloud using Kubernetes.

My recent projects.

1. I developed and deployed a ML platform for creating awesome music lyrics using FastAPI, Sqlalchemy, PostgreSQL, Celery, NTLK, Pytorch, XLM-Roberta, Tensorsflow and deployed on Google Cloud.

2. I implemented a ML platform using Django, NLTK, Redis, Tensorflow, Pytorch, and PostgreSQL for drug prescriptions and other custom medical solution.

3. implementing distributed Golang backend microservices for a high-volume investment platform, which required meticulous attention to detail and robust system design.

I used MATLAB for text, image and video processing.

With a strong background in software engineering, I bring valuable experience in leading teams and creating systems that can handle complex requirements and high volumes of data.

As a seasoned engineering leader, I guided talented teams in delivering enterprise-grade software systems that drive business value for clients.

My expertise spans a range of technologies, including Nodejs, Django, FastApi, and Go, which I've used to redesign and rewrite monolithic applications into distributed, production-ready platforms.

I led the implementation of AWS Lambdas that interacts with S3 resources using Node.js and Python. I managed IAC with Terraform and did various deployments via Jenkins. Additionally, I've served as an IC, investigating and migrating applications and their CICD from CircleCI to GitHub Actions.

I lead my teams in solution delivery using Python, Celery, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes, ELK, and Terraform to redesign and deploy monolithic applications on AWS.

1. In a separate project, I led a team of four DevOps and one DevSecOps professionals in analyzing, redesigning, and migrating a manually built AWS infrastructure while adhering to AWS Well-Architected best practices, automating workflows using CloudFormation, CDK, and Terraform, and ensuring GDPR PCI, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.

Finally, I was the Architect in a team responsible for the analysis and upgrade planning of a legacy system used by 1,500 employees within Citrix workspace, collecting data from around 2.5 million home devices, and three versions behind after its last upgrade in 2018. My tools of choice include C#, Js, .NET core, Azure, AWS, MongoDB, MSSQL Server, High Availability Groups, AD, and Terraform.

As an experienced team leader in enterprise software development, I led teams in delivering event-driven, high-scale, high-availability data platforms that process large data streams. My expertise includes utilizing technologies such as Scala, Akka, Kafka, Postgresql, Docker, Terraform, and AWS to create effective and efficient systems that meet business objectives.

I redesigned and implemented a backend infrastructure on AWS for a project management platform company in London. This involved migrating from Laravel to Golang to improve throughput by 50%, and handling IAC drifts across teams using Terraform.

I also implemented a face recognition module for a payment system, utilizing image recognition and video codec and streaming using Opencv, container and codec formats, video streaming protocols, and encoding tools.

My skills include proficiency in programming languages such as C#, Go, Java, and Python, and databases including MSSQL, MYSQL, and MongoDB. I have experience with message brokers such as Redis, RabbitMq, and Kafka, and version control using Git.

I used cloud platform such as, AWS and Azure, and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes. I have utilized Github Actions for CI/CD workflows and automation.

Some of my projects include designing and implementing a backend infrastructure for a COVID tracing app on GCP and AWS for the Nigerian Federal Government, as well as creating the HMS Platform using Mysql, Redis, React, and React-Native in 2021.
