What I've shipped, fixed, taught, and shown up for.
Technical wins, community work, team moments, and delivery milestones. The kind of output that doesn't always fit in a CV.
A running record of what I've shipped, taught, fixed, and shown up for — across production systems, community work, and team moments. Technical and human. Big and small.
Featured Wins
Standout moments with enough detail to show the problem, the action, and the result.
Tightening EKS ingress health checks to make rollouts boring again
Reduced deployment friction by aligning ALB health checks, readiness behavior, and ingress expectations so rollout failures became faster to diagnose and less disruptive.
Impact
Turned a recurring ingress failure into a repeatable, low-drama diagnosis path with clearer rollout signals and faster recovery.
Delivered cohort 3 of the Scratchcode engineering bootcamp
Ran the third cohort of the Scratchcode bootcamp — eight weeks of cloud, DevOps, and backend fundamentals with 18 students. Highest completion rate yet.
Impact
16 of 18 students completed the programme. 4 landed their first junior cloud or backend roles within 6 weeks of graduation.

Cut EKS cluster costs by 34% without touching capacity
Identified and fixed a cluster cost problem caused by over-provisioned node groups and unset resource requests — without reducing actual workload capacity or changing application behaviour.
Impact
34% reduction in EC2 spend for the cluster. Freed up budget that funded two additional environments for the team.
Team offsite to Cape Coast — and why it mattered more than I expected
A two-day trip with the Scratchcode team to Cape Coast turned into one of the most useful alignment sessions we've had. A mix of work, history, and real conversations about where we're headed.
Impact
Came back with clearer personal goals, stronger team context, and a renewed sense of direction after months of heads-down building.
Spoke at the Accra cloud community meetup
Presented a session on Kubernetes scheduling and node failure recovery to a room of about 40 engineers and students in Accra. First time speaking on infrastructure topics to a local audience.
Impact
Got three follow-up questions that became blog post topics. Two attendees reached out afterward about cloud engineering paths.
