ABOUT ME

Building for the Cloud.
Automating for the Future.

Iā€™m a Cloud & DevOps Intern at IPSR Solutions Ltd, focused on building practical skills in Linux administration, AWS cloud infrastructure, automation, and system monitoring. I enjoy working with infrastructure, automating repetitive tasks, and understanding how reliable systems are built and deployed.

With a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Computer Science, I bring a strong foundation in analytical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. Through hands-on training and projects, Iā€™m developing practical experience with Linux, AWS, Ansible, containerization, infrastructure automation, and DevOps workflows.
