Systems & Cloud Engineer | DevOps | Database Administrator | Infrastructure Automation Specialist
A versatile, automation-first infrastructure engineer with deep expertise spanning Linux and Windows ecosystems, cloud-native architectures, database systems, and data centre operations. Based in Munich, Germany, with a proven track record of designing resilient, observable, and cost-efficient systems for enterprise clients across Europe and Africa.
Currently serving as a Linux & Database Administrator, I specialize in building and maintaining high-availability infrastructure that teams trust but rarely notice. My work sits at the intersection of systems architecture, database administration, and cloud engineering — ensuring seamless operations across on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
Alert Noise Reduction: Slashed 3,000+ daily alerts to fewer than 10 at Adidas via HWS Gruppe — a feat recognized by the Vice President and senior directors.
Process Acceleration: Reduced national stipend processing from 15 days to 3 days for a 100,000-personnel government programme, managing over $227 million in disbursements.
Observability Architecture: Designed and deployed a Docker-based Prometheus/Grafana monitoring stack, delivering real-time infrastructure intelligence with automated alerting.
Proficient in AWS, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and Docker. I architect CI/CD pipelines, automate repetitive workflows with PowerShell and Bash, and implement Infrastructure as Code to eliminate manual toil. My open-source work — including a featured Zammad CI/CD and monitoring setup — has been recognized by industry leaders and published on the official Zammad blog.
Extensive experience managing Oracle (Clustered & RAC), MSSQL, and MySQL databases; performing backup/recovery operations with RMAN and Data Pump; and optimizing storage at both server and database levels. I have led migrations from legacy monitoring platforms (Icinga to Zabbix) and trained cross-functional teams on modern observability practices.
Co-Founder & Technology Transformation Lead at GH Commuter, where I built an AI-powered institutional busing platform serving Galaxy International School and corporate clients. The system delivers live ETAs via WhatsApp, optimizes routes in real time, and has reduced fuel consumption by 18% while restoring commuter mornings across Ghana.
Previously founded MikesHands Consult, architecting internet hotspot systems for hostels using VMware, MikroTik, and RADIUS — managing 500+ user accounts and pioneering self-service USSD and Android app administration in the Ghanaian market.
Beta participant in Docker's AI-powered assistant, Ask Gordon. Active contributor to open-source and cloud-native communities, with certifications in Ansible, Git, and Kubernetes Cloud Native Ecosystems.
