David Odediran.
I architect scalable AWS solutions by day and mentor the next generation of cloud engineers, with 1,500+ students and counting.
Cloud Engineer. Educator. Mentor.
To democratize cloud computing education across Africa, and to build infrastructure that makes technology accessible to everyone, not just the well-resourced.
From teaching in Ghana's classrooms to architecting multi-service AWS deployments. My path into cloud computing was unconventional, and that's exactly what makes it powerful. I discovered the leverage of cloud infrastructure during a pivotal career transition, and it completely changed how I think about scale, impact, and possibility.
Today I design and deliver AWS cloud training at AmaliTech, where I build curricula, lead hands-on bootcamps, and validated real-world cloud projects for the AmaliTech AWS Hackathon 2025. Before that, I spent three-plus years mentoring over 1,500 students through Springboard, earning the Coach Mentorship Award in 2022.
Teaching and engineering aren't separate pursuits for me. They reinforce each other. Every architecture decision I make, I can explain clearly. Every concept I teach, I've deployed in a real environment.

Cloud Engineering Work
Real-world AWS architectures — from serverless APIs to multi-tenant training platforms.
CertPath
Open-source AWS certification exam prep and cohort management
A full-stack exam platform that lets training organisations run timed AWS mock exams, manage student cohorts, and track qualification progress. Includes role-based dashboards for students, teachers, admins, and superusers.
Serverless Weather App
Re-architected serverless weather platform on AWS
A fully re-architected serverless weather application built on AWS, using API Gateway to handle requests, Lambda for backend logic, Parameter Store for secure API key management, and Amplify for frontend hosting and CI/CD.
Cloud Labs Training Environment
Sandboxed AWS lab environments for cloud learners
A multi-tenant AWS training platform that auto-provisions isolated sandbox accounts for students, enforces budget limits via SCPs, and tracks lab completion through a custom admin dashboard.
Multi-Environment CI/CD Pipeline
GitOps-driven deployments across dev, staging, and production
A reusable GitHub Actions pipeline for containerized apps: builds Docker images, pushes to ECR, and deploys to ECS Fargate with blue/green deployment. Built as a training reference for AmaliTech bootcamp students.
Unified Cloud Monitoring Stack
Observability across multi-region AWS infrastructure
Comprehensive monitoring using CloudWatch, Security Hub, CloudTrail, and AWS Config, providing unified visibility into health, performance, and security posture with PagerDuty escalation integration.
The Journey
From Ghana's classrooms to cloud architecture — a non-linear path with compounding impact.
