ABOUT GBENGA BALOGUN
I’m a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 10+ years of hands‑on experience automating IT operations, bridging the gap between development and IT teams, and delivering reliable, secure cloud platforms at scale. I specialize in CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and Kubernetes‑based platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes to streamline the software delivery lifecycle. Through automation and GitOps practices, I’ve reduced deployment failures by ~35%, cut configuration drift by over 95%, and helped teams ship faster with consistent, repeatable releases across environments.My work is strongly outcome‑driven, with a focus on reliability, security, and cost efficiency. I’ve reduced incident MTTR by 45%, maintained 99.99% service availability, and led FinOps initiatives that lowered cloud spend by ~30% through right‑sizing, savings plans, and cost‑allocation strategies. I also embed DevSecOps practices—policy‑as‑code, secrets management, and container security—early in the pipeline, reducing security risk by an estimated 40% while improving audit readiness. Known for clear communication and strong problem‑solving, I thrive in cross‑functional environments where I can align engineering, security, and business goals to build resilient, high‑performing systems.
