Open to security roles

I secure cloud
accounts at scale.

Cloud Security Engineer in Lagos, Nigeria. I secure AWS, Azure, and OCI environments for 110+ customer accounts and 1,000+ endpoints. My programming, networking, and offensive security background helps me rank risks by real attack paths and confirm every fix holds.

60%less manual security work via Jenkins

Selected work

Problem, action, result.

Vulnerability management

Fewer critical findings

Ran Nessus scans across 1,000+ endpoints and sent results to AWS Security Hub. Ranked issues by CVSS score and removed false positives. Critical and high-risk findings dropped 12%.

Network design

No direct internet exposure

Redesigned VPC segmentation with private subnets, security groups, and NACLs. Over 300 critical resources no longer face the internet.

Identity

Static keys replaced with SSO

Rolled out AWS Identity Center across 30+ accounts. Long-term IAM user credentials gave way to time-limited, federated access.

DevSecOps

Deploys in under 3 minutes

Built Jenkins pipelines that cut manual security tasks by 60%. Deployments that took tens of minutes now finish in under 3.

Database security

Oracle Data Safe, solo owner

Set up auditing, SQL firewall, and risk scoring on Autonomous Databases. Threat findings flow into Splunk on-call alerts for near real-time response.

Cost

About 20% lower compute bills

Led a move of selected workloads to Graviton instances, saving roughly 20% on compute while keeping the same security baselines.

Side project

Equigence

A financial analysis platform that pulls market data for 2,100+ NYSE-listed companies through APIs, checks the inputs, and builds charts and reports.

Side project

Unix shell in C

Built a working shell from scratch with command parsing, process creation, and memory-safe code. It taught me how the OS isolates and runs programs.

Experience

Three roles, one thread: keep systems running and keep them safe.
