Emmanuel Olaimolu

About

Cloud/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of AWS EKS Kubernetes platforms built and upgraded via Terraform, including AWS networking/security, EBS/EFS/S3 storage integration, and reliability validation through CloudWatch plus Prometheus/Grafana. Also has on-prem VMware/vSphere administration experience and day-to-day hybrid on-prem-to-AWS operations (VPN/Direct Connect), with examples of resolving pod instability from an application memory leak and fixing a production connectivity drop via routing/firewall troubleshooting.

Key Strengths

• Platform-level EKS cluster build/upgrade using Terraform with rolling upgrade approach to avoid downtime
• Strong AWS networking and security fundamentals (VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM)
• Storage integration experience across EBS, EFS, and S3 for Kubernetes workloads
• Observability-driven troubleshooting using Prometheus/Grafana and CloudWatch to diagnose pod restarts/latency
• Incident response: mitigated production instability by temporarily scaling deployments and tuning resource requests/limits while coordinating with developers on root-cause fix
• VMware/vSphere performance troubleshooting (CPU overcommitment, storage latency) using vMotion and cleanup of old snapshots
• Hybrid on-prem/AWS operations and connectivity troubleshooting (VPN/Direct Connect, routing/firewall), plus adding monitoring/alerts and failover checks
