Hi, I'm Francis Jinadu, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 7+ years of experience automating infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and VMware. I design scalable, highly available systems and love building reliable CI/CD pipelines with Kubernetes at the core. I'm a collaborative problem-solver who modernizes legacy setups, reduces cloud waste, and helps teams deliver faster with infrastructure as code, automation, and monitoring. Outside work, I enjoy learning new clouds and sharing knowledge with peers.
