DevOps & Cloud Engineer | CI/CD Pipelines • Secure Infrastructure & Wi-Fi Modernization | 19+ yrs Critical National Infrastructure

With over 19 years as Principal Manager in critical national infrastructure at the Transmission Company of Nigeria, I bring deep expertise in high-reliability systems, operational excellence, and secure network environments.

I am currently pursuing an MSc in DevOps & Cloud Computing at IU International University of Applied Sciences, where I have achieved outstanding results:

• DevOps (5 ECTS) – 96% (Distinction)
• Advanced Research Methods (5 ECTS) – 90% (Distinction)

My GitHub showcases practical CI/CD mastery combined with rigorous, evidence-based research on wireless security and infrastructure modernization — skills I apply to deliver justified, production-ready solutions.

MSc DevOps & Cloud Computing Coursework

I designed and developed a contract-first microservices-based Movies API to demonstrate end-to-end API engineering, automated testing, and reproducible performance evaluation.

Key Highlights:

• OpenAPI v3 contract-first design with full CRUD, RBAC, and error handling
• Comprehensive testing (unit, integration, contract) + k6 load testing
• GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline with reproducible artifacts
• Performance baselines (P50 < 100ms, P95 < 500ms)

Skills Demonstrated: Microservices architecture, OpenAPI specification, performance engineering, CI/CD, traceability & documentation.

🔐 An Empirical Study of IEEE 802.11 & WPA3 Adoption Gaps and Feature Prioritization in Campus & Public Wi-Fi Hotspots

MSc Course | Grade: 90% (Distinction) – Advanced Research Methods (5 ECTS)

Campus and public Wi-Fi operators often run mixed legacy deployments and must prioritize upgrades under tight budgets.

I designed an empirical research proposal to deliver evidence-based prioritization of IEEE 802.11 features and WPA3 capabilities, focusing on real-world performance, mobility, and security in dense and multi-AP environments.

Research Scope:

• ⚡ Performance benchmarking in high-density scenarios (throughput & stability)
• 🚶 Roaming & handover resilience for latency-sensitive apps (video calls, VoIP)
• 🛡️ Security evaluation — WPA2-to-WPA3 migration, Protected Management Frames, SAE authentication

Key Deliverable:
A prioritized deployment roadmap with staged recommendations and practical guidance for secure cloud-edge networking and zero-trust access.

Skills Demonstrated:

• Evidence-based decision-making under constraints
• Empirical research design and quantitative testbed methodology
• Wireless standards evaluation (IEEE 802.11 family & WPA3)
• Infrastructure performance, reliability & security assessment

Why this stands out: Most DevOps candidates can build pipelines. Very few can back architecture and security choices with rigorous, standards-driven empirical research like this.
