AWS Cloud Engineer & Trainer
I build cloud infrastructure
and grow the engineers
who run it.
I architect AWS infrastructure by day and train cloud engineers by night. So far, 1,500+ students and ten AWS certifications.
About
From classrooms to cloud infrastructure
I started out teaching in classrooms in Ghana. Now I architect multi-service AWS deployments. The path between those two things was not straight, but I'd take it over a conventional one.
I got into cloud computing during a career change. Once I understood what infrastructure at scale could actually do, the way I thought about building things shifted for good.
These days I design and deliver AWS cloud training at AmaliTech. I build curricula, run hands-on bootcamps, and validated real-world cloud projects for the AmaliTech AWS Hackathon 2025. Before AmaliTech, I spent three-plus years mentoring over 1,500 students through Springboard and picked up the Coach Mentorship Award in 2022.
Teaching and engineering feed each other for me. Any architecture decision I've made, I can walk someone through. Any concept I'm teaching, I've shipped it somewhere real first.
“What I'm trying to do is help businesses understand their consumers better and then actually use that to grow. Machine learning and AI are the tools I use to get there.”

Cloud Engineering Work
Real-world AWS architectures, from serverless APIs to multi-tenant training platforms.
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.
A weather app I re-architected on AWS: API Gateway handles requests, Lambda runs the backend, Parameter Store keeps the API key out of the code, and Amplify hosts the frontend with CI/CD.
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.
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.
Monitoring stack built on CloudWatch, Security Hub, CloudTrail, and AWS Config. Ties health, performance, and security data into one view with PagerDuty for escalation.
