Hi, I'm

Ayo Ademilua

Cloud Engineer & SRE

I help teams ship reliable systems on AWS, Azure, and GCP—from Kubernetes and Terraform to CI/CD and observability. When I'm not improving uptime, I'm probably automating the next thing.

About Me

I'm Ayo—a Cloud Engineer and SRE based in Ontario. For over six years I've been building and running cloud-native systems that stay up when it matters. I love turning messy infrastructure into something teams can rely on: multi-cluster Kubernetes, GitOps-style automation, and observability that actually helps people debug.

I work in Bash, Python, and Go to automate everything from provisioning to alerting—so teams spend less time firefighting and more time shipping. If you're looking for someone who cares about reliability and clean systems, let's talk.
