SAMUEL.PETERPORTFOLIO
DevOps & Cloud Engineer | Critical Infrastructure & Reliability

Engineering reliable cloud platforms with a critical-operations mindset.

I bring 20+ years in high-reliability national grid operations to modern DevOps and Cloud Engineering. I build and automate cloud-native systems, CI/CD workflows, and ML-enabled services, with a focus on reliability, security, and operational outcomes.

About me

Operational experience.
Engineering-led delivery.

My career has been shaped by critical national power-grid operations, where reliability, incident response, and sound operational decisions matter every day. I bring that operational perspective to DevOps and Cloud Engineering through infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and cloud-native application delivery.

My project work spans contract-first microservices, automated build-and-test pipelines, and an ML recommender workflow using Python, FastAPI, Docker, and AWS. I value engineering that is reliable, secure, maintainable, and supported by measurable evidence.
