Cybersecurity Analyst
Conducted a full penetration test on a healthcare web application, discovering and exploiting critical vulnerabilities including SQL injection, broken access control, and password reset token disclosure using tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, and Nikto.
Deployed OpenCTI on Microsoft Azure from scratch and integrated AlienVault OTX to conduct threat intelligence analysis on ransomware groups targeting the healthcare sector.
Developed a comprehensive Identity Management and Access Control Policy for a national healthcare organisation, aligned to ISO/IEC 27002:2022.
Carried out cloud security in Azure comprising RBAC, network segmentation, firewall configuration, container security (ACR/AKS), and secure storage.
Investigated suspicious sign-in activity using log analysis, IP intelligence, and geolocation data to identify indicators of compromise.
Cloud DevOps Engineer
Designed and deployed a WireGuard-powered bastion host on AWS, enabling secure developer and CI/CD (GitHub Actions) access to private EC2 instances without public exposure.
Set up and maintained a self-hosted internal wiki, improving team collaboration and centralizing project documentation.
Deployed frontend and backend applications across production and testing environments, ensuring consistent and reliable releases.
Assisted in configuring Application Load Balancers (ALB), target groups, and routing rules to support a scalable production environment.
Collaborated with senior engineers to gain insights into best practices in DevOps and application integration.
DevOps Engineer
CI/CD Pipeline Implementation:
Architected and implemented robust CI/CD pipelines automating the deployment workflows for both frontend and backend services. This eliminated manual deployment efforts, accelerated delivery cycles, and ensured consistent, reliable shipping of new features to both staging and production environments.
Zero-Downtime Deployments:
Designed and integrated deployment strategies with built-in rollback mechanisms to support zero-downtime releases. These strategies allowed seamless version rollouts while maintaining 99%+ application uptime and resilience against build or runtime failures.
NGINX Reverse Proxy Configuration:
Wrote and optimized NGINX configurations for both staging and production environments across frontend and backend. The setup handled intelligent traffic routing, SSL termination, and HTTPS enforcement, ensuring secure communication, enhanced site reliability, and adherence to best security practices.
Monitoring and Observability:
Monitored and analyzed application logs and system performance post-deployment to ensure stability. Integrated Prometheus and Grafana for real-time metrics collection, visualization, and alerting—tracking key indicators like latency and DORA metrics.
Service Reliability with systemd:
Configured and managed systemd services for critical components (Python backend, Prometheus, Grafana), enabling automatic restarts on failure or reboot. This improved fault tolerance and ensured persistent uptime across the deployment stack.
DevOps Engineer Intern
CI/CD Pipeline Automation:
Engineered a CI/CD pipeline for a FastAPI application, automating deployments on pull request merges using GitHub Actions, with Nginx as a reverse proxy on AWS EC2.
Kubernetes-Based Dynamic Testing and Deployment:
Designed and deployed a Kubernetes-based system for dynamic code execution, testing, and deployment using Amazon EKS.
Microservices Containerization and Automation:
Containerized and automated a microservices TODO app, integrating Vue.js, Go, Node.js, Java, Python, and Redis, with Traefik as a reverse proxy.
Load Balancing and Traffic Optimization:
Deployed HAProxy on AWS EC2, configured Nginx web servers, and tested load balancing algorithms (Round Robin, IP Hash, Least Connections) to optimize request distribution and enhance scalability.
Collaborative Deployment Workflow Design:
Collaborated with teammates to design and implement a scalable deployment workflow for a user application, optimizing API gateway configurations, CI/CD automation, and Kubernetes resource allocation.
Cybersecurity Network Intern
Network Access Control (NAC) Implementation:
Assisted in implementing Network Access Control (NAC) solutions, integrating security and increasing network security compliance.
Monitoring and Observability Enhancements:
Supported the deployment and configuration of monitoring tools, enhancing network visibility and incident response times, aligning with best practices in observability.
VMware Infrastructure Optimization:
Optimized virtual machine performance in VMware environments by implementing resource allocation strategies, contributing to efficient infrastructure management.
Network Testing and Performance Monitoring:
Learnt how to work with IXIA, gaining hands-on experience in network testing and performance monitoring tools.
Firewall Policy Development and Incident Response:
Collaborated with senior analysts on developing firewall policies, improving incident response times through continuous security monitoring.
Facilitated a four-day cybersecurity training programme titled Energy Infrastructure Protection in an Era of Cyber Warfare, across Port Harcourt and Edo State, Nigeria, reaching over 260 individuals. Sponsored by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).
