Hi, I'm Faboya Basil
Senior Cloud/DevOps Engineer

I own production Kubernetes platforms on Amazon EKS and Azure AKS — building GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, hardening clusters with private networking and secrets management, and running observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog so engineering teams can ship fast and sleep well.

About Me

Senior DevOps Engineer who owns production Kubernetes platforms on Amazon EKS and Azure AKS — handling cluster upgrades, node migrations, private networking, and GitOps-driven delivery with ArgoCD and Helm.

I've delivered zero-downtime platform migrations, removed secrets from Git by adopting AWS Secrets Manager and External Secrets Operator, and built DevSecOps pipelines with SAST scanning built in. I also write technical content on DevOps and AWS reaching thousands of practitioners on Medium.
