Junior Dev Ops Engineer


My name is Chisom Johnson, I am a results-driven Cloud DevOps Engineer with 5 years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and optimizing cloud infrastructure at scale. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, I specialize in bridging the gap between development and operations — delivering resilient, secure, and highly available systems that power modern software products.

Over the course of my career, I have built deep expertise across the full DevOps lifecycle, including CI/CD pipeline design, container orchestration with Kubernetes and Docker, infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Ansible, and cloud-native architecture on AWS. He is equally comfortable working with monitoring stacks like Prometheus and Grafana as he is architecting microservices deployments or troubleshooting production incidents under pressure.

I take pride in reducing toil through intelligent automation — whether that means streamlining deployment workflows, building self-healing infrastructure, or implementing observability frameworks that give engineering teams real-time visibility into their systems. His approach combines technical precision with a strong bias for collaboration, making him an effective partner for cross-functional teams across startups and enterprise environments alike.

With a B.Sc. from the University of Lagos and a continued commitment to professional development in cloud and AI-adjacent technologies, Chisom is constantly sharpening his edge in a rapidly evolving field. He is available for remote contract and freelance engagements where his skills in cloud automation and DevOps engineering can drive measurable impact

DevOps Engineer
Journponder IGneria LTD
2021 - 2026
Design and provision cloud-native infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, including VPCs, EC2 Auto Scaling Groups, RDS clusters, ALBs, and S3 — deployable and destroyable in under 10 minutes. • Deploy and maintain self-hosted automation environments (including n8n instances), ensuring high availability and performance for concurrent workflow execution. • Build end-to-end CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) that automate build, test, security scan, and deployment stages for Node.js applications to AWS EC2, cutting deployment time by over 70%. • Implement Docker-based containerization with images stored in AWS ECR; configure PM2 process management for zero-downtime application restarts on every code push to main. • Configure Prometheus and Grafana dashboards for real-time metrics collection, uptime monitoring, and alerting on node failures, performance degradation, and system instability events. • Set up ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for centralized log aggregation, enabling rapid incident triage and root-cause analysis across distributed services.
