I'm a passionate DevOps & Data Engineer with a strong foundation in cloud-native infrastructure, blockchain protocols, and scalable data systems. From humble beginnings as a curious learner, I’ve grown into a senior team member and founding engineer at GlueX Protocol, where I manage mission-critical infrastructure across multiple blockchain networks and cloud platforms.
I’ve built full-node setups, indexing systems, stress-test frameworks, observability pipelines, and autoscaling environments using AWS, Linux, and modern DevOps stacks.
I have hands-on experience or deep research knowledge in setting up and managing nodes across:
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Blast, Linea, Scroll, Mantle, Polygon, Optimism, Gnosis, BNB Chain, Berachain, Unichain, Sonic, Avalanche, Sei, Taiko, and Hyperevm.
With an educational foundation from AltSchool Africa(graduated as the Top Data Engineering performer) and a previous role as a Data Engineering/MLOps Intern at Hamoye, I’ve worked on systems that transform raw data into actionable insight, while improving reliability, traceability, and deployment agility.
I’ve contributed to projects spanning on-chain data engineering, custom blockchain indexers, Microservices, monitoring dashboards (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki), ETL pipelines, and AWS cost-optimized infra.
