I got my first taste of computers on my father's tower PC with a cathode ray monitor in Agavedzi, a small village in Ghana's Volta Region — no internet, no tutorials, no teacher, no mentor, just curiosity and a lot of trial and error.
That tinkering turned into a BSc in Physics, a move to Prague, and a career that's taken me from IT technician to Systems Engineer to building cloud infrastructure at scale across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Today I design CI/CD pipelines, ship Infrastructure as Code, and teach the next generation of engineers through FirstByte and Jomacs — because I know what it means to start from nothing.
From bare-metal infrastructure to cloud-native deployments โ I bring systems to life and keep them running.
Designing and managing AWS environments with EC2, ECS Fargate, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, ACM, and WAF โ fully codified with Terraform for repeatable, auditable infrastructure.
Building GitHub Actions pipelines with OIDC-based AWS authentication, automated deployments, and container workflows โ enabling fast, reliable, and secure software delivery.
Hands-on experience racking servers, configuring network switches, deploying access points, managing Active Directory, and administering MDM solutions across enterprise environments.
Implementing WAF rules, enforcing least-privilege IAM policies, managing secrets, and applying security patches โ building defence-in-depth across cloud and on-premise systems.
Deploying Nagios, Zabbix, CheckMK, and Grafana monitoring stacks to achieve high availability SLAs and reduce mean time to detect and respond to incidents.
Delivering hands-on DevOps and cloud training at Jomacs IT, teaching GitHub Actions, and co-founding FirstByte โ a free bootcamp for beginners in systems engineering and DevOps.

Real-world infrastructure and DevOps engineering projects โ built, deployed, and maintained in production.
A production-grade, multi-region log processing system built to handle IoT sensor telemetry at scale. Events flow in through SQS into modular Python processors, land in S3 and DynamoDB, and scale automatically with KEDA. The full observability stack — Prometheus, Loki, Grafana via OpenTelemetry — is baked in from day one. Infrastructure lives in Terraform and Helm; deployments go through GitHub Actions OIDC pipelines with manual approval gates before touching production.
Replaced expensive hosted runners with a self-healing, autoscaling CI/CD platform on Amazon EKS using Actions Runner Controller (ARC). Terraform handles all AWS resource provisioning — S3, IAM, Secrets Manager — and GitHub Actions wires it all together. The result is a secure, cost-efficient pipeline platform that scales with workload demand and recovers from failures without manual intervention.
Designed and built an event-driven ETL pipeline that pulls from REST APIs, PostgreSQL change data capture, and S3 event triggers — consolidating everything into a centralised data lake via Kafka and AWS Glue. Lambda handles transformation logic, CloudWatch watches for data drift and consumer lag, and dead-letter queues catch anything that falls through. Infrastructure is fully Terraform-managed with a GitHub Actions delivery pipeline.
Took a Nuxt 3 (Vue 3 + TypeScript) application from code to production by building out the entire AWS infrastructure in Terraform — Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CloudFront, DynamoDB for state locking, and Cognito for user management. GitHub Actions handles every deployment. The site is live at firstbyte.cz.
Built a CI/CD pipeline for a Node.js e-commerce application where security isn't optional — SonarQube, Snyk, and Trivy run as hard gates that block the deployment if checks fail. No exceptions. The pipeline demonstrates what SOC2-aligned delivery actually looks like when it's enforced at the pipeline level rather than bolted on after the fact.
Containerised an application and shipped it to AWS ECS Fargate through a GitHub Actions pipeline — no servers to manage, no cluster overhead. Images are built, pushed to ECR, and deployed automatically on every merge. A clean example of serverless container delivery done simply and reliably.
Set up the full production infrastructure for a Django-based organisation management system running on Hetzner Cloud. Docker Compose ties together PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, and Celery; GitHub Actions handles zero-downtime deployments; SonarQube scans every push. The kind of setup that lets a small team ship confidently without a dedicated ops person on call.
Engineering is more than a job โ it's a community. Here's how I contribute beyond the day-to-day.
Active member and instructor within the Jomacs DevOps Community โ contributing to knowledge sharing, peer mentoring, and building a strong network of engineers transitioning into cloud and DevOps roles.
Co-founder of FirstByte โ a free, community-driven bootcamp offering hands-on systems engineering and DevOps fundamentals to beginners. Built to lower the barrier to entry for aspiring engineers.
