I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer and Python Backend Developer with 3+ years of experience building, deploying, and maintaining backend applications and cloud infrastructure.

My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and automation. I enjoy taking applications from development to production — designing APIs, containerizing applications, automating deployments, configuring Linux servers, and building reliable AWS infrastructure.

• ☁️ Design and manage AWS cloud infrastructure
• 🐍 Build backend applications and REST APIs with Python, Django, Django REST Framework, and FastAPI
• 🐳 Containerize and deploy applications using Docker and Podman
• 🔄 Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• 🖥️ Administer and deploy applications on Linux servers
• 🌐 Configure reverse proxies and application gateways using Nginx and Traefik
• 🔐 Implement authentication, authorization, IAM, secrets management, and secure application configurations
• 🗄️ Work with PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, and other data stores
• 📡 Build and integrate APIs with external services and infrastructure
• ⚙️ Automate infrastructure and application deployment processes

AWS Services I've worked with:

EC2 S3 IAM VPC Route 53 Lambda RDS ECR Elastic Beanstalk CodeBuild CodePipeline CloudFormation CloudWatch Secrets Manager Parameter Store KMS

Docker Podman Nginx Traefik Gunicorn Supervisor CI/CD Linux

PostgreSQL SQLite Redis Memcached TinyDB

MikroTik UniFi Cambium Networks DNS HTTP/HTTPS Reverse Proxy SSL/TLS

Git GitHub VS Code Ubuntu WSL Kali Linux

I've worked with AWS infrastructure across development, deployment, and production environments, including:

• EC2-based application hosting
• S3 storage
• IAM roles and permissions
• VPC networking
• Route 53 DNS management
• RDS databases
• Lambda
• ECR container registries
• Elastic Beanstalk deployments
• CodeBuild and CodePipeline
• Secrets Manager and Parameter Store
• CloudWatch monitoring
• Docker-based deployments
• Reverse proxy and TLS configuration
• Automated application deployment

I particularly enjoy solving the problems that appear between application code and production infrastructure.

My backend development experience is primarily centered around Python.

• Django applications
• Django REST Framework
• Authentication and authorization
• Database design and migrations
• REST APIs
• Production deployments
• PostgreSQL and SQLite

• RESTful APIs
• Authentication
• API integrations
• Asynchronous application development
• Production deployment
• Dockerized services

A network infrastructure and captive portal project integrating:

• MikroTik
• Cambium access points
• FastAPI
• Authentication
• Network management
• Let's Encrypt
• Linux
• Reverse proxies

The project combines networking, backend development, cloud infrastructure, and automation.

A containerized application environment involving:

• Django
• FastAPI
• Docker
• Traefik
• Nginx
• Supervisor
• AWS
• PostgreSQL
• CI/CD

The project provided practical experience with deploying multiple application services behind production infrastructure.

I also experiment with and maintain self-hosted services and infrastructure, including:

• Filebrowser
• Immich
• Jellyfin
• Kasm
• Komodo

These projects give me hands-on experience with Linux administration, containers, networking, reverse proxies, storage, security, and infrastructure management.

I'm continuing to deepen my expertise in:

• ☁️ AWS Cloud Architecture
• 🏗️ Infrastructure as Code
• 🔄 CI/CD and DevOps
• 🐳 Container orchestration
• 🔐 Cloud security
• 🏛️ Distributed systems
• 🐍 Advanced Python backend engineering
• 🌐 Scalable API architecture

I'm particularly interested in progressing toward Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Solutions Architecture, and Cloud-focused Software Engineering roles.

Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) Bachelor's degree in Information Technology Second Class Upper

• ☁️ AWS Certified Developer – Associate

I'm interested in connecting with engineers, developers, cloud professionals, and organizations working on interesting technical problems.

I like building things, breaking them, figuring out why they broke, and then automating the solution.
