Work History
Zepz (WorldRemit | SendWave)
I work for Zepz as a DevOps contractor. I work on a multi-cloud infrastructure mostly on AWS but with some legacy parts on Azure and GCP. I work with AWS RDS, VPCs, Site to Site VPNs, EKS, IAM with Okta SSO, IRSA for EKS, ArgoCD, ... etc. All the infrastructure is managed via Terraform.
Moved
I worked part-time for Moved developing, hosting, and maintaining their backend application written in Python Flask and hosted on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Since I joined the team I managed to pioneer and champion the creation of a new branch of their application dedicated to providing admin control to their clients all while exhibiting great autonomy, time management, and communication. I also took up any DevOps tasks on the board and ensured our infra was well documented in Cloud Formation and properly configured to scale on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
InnovateEDU
I joined InnovateEDU for a short-term contract to help them cut down cloud costs for their clients, document their infrastructure in IAC with Terraform for easier adoption by clients, and set up reliable end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for their developers. While at InnovateEDU, I was mostly working with Terraform, GCP, Kubernetes, Bitbucket Pipelines, Helm, and Apache Airflow to mention but a few tools.
Lambda School
I worked with the Lambda school admissions engineering team in developing and continuously improving our student intake process on our Typescript/React front-end and Python/Flask back-end applications which were hosted on Heroku. I also single-handedly worked on creating an on-boarding batch workflow to automate various student admission processes using Cloudformation, AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions and Slack, Zoho and Salesforce APIs on the development side.
Export Trade Group
I worked on setting up and maintaining our Google Kubernetes Engine infrastructure for a Java(Spring Boot) based system and created a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for more streamlined development. I also documented all of our GCP infrastructures in Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
Turing
I offered DevOps and Backend development services on-demand for various of Turing's clients as a contractor.
Paul Trueman
Working with Artur has been a pleasure. Better yet - I alerted them of a minor issue before going to sleep. The issue was fixed the next morning. I couldn't ask for better support. Thank you Artur! This is easily a 5 star freelancer.
Spincity
I set up microservice infrastructure for the online casino on AWS with Terraform IAC and Kubernetes for container orchestration and scaling. I also worked on developing the backend services in Golang and Python and created a large-scale data flow pipeline that allowed them to communicate together with Kafka as the streaming service.

Andela
I worked remotely as a Devops engineer maintaining and scaling Andela's high traffic VOF product(written in Ruby) on Kubernetes and creating CI/CD(Jenkins) integrations for a variety of their development teams. I also got the chance to design and develop some of their pilot projects in Python and Golang.
Kubernetes
I joined the Kubernetes community to contribute to the development of the Kubernetes engine in Golang. I worked with Special Interest Group CLI(SIG-CLI)which is responsible for the development of the command-line interface for Kubernetes(Kubectl). I worked on implementing new features and raising fixes for bugs and triaging issues that are reported on the repository for fellow open source contributors.
Recommendations
Ibrahim Mbaziira
When looking for a Devops engineer, you put into consideration the ability to learn big picture and technical details, the ability to guide others in executing tasks, the ability to handle push-back and the ability to criticize others in a candid manner is critical.
Martin exhibits all these traits and he'd be a great fit for your team.
Ricky Nyairo
If you want a stable, highly available application with a lean infrastructure and very fast response times, Martin is your guy. A superb problem-solver, he has helped to transition an application from a VM architecture to a containerized architecture, leading to a significant decrease in maintenance costs.
