I'm a Cloud and DevOps engineer with hands-on experience exploring Microsoft Azure, AWS, infrastructure automation, cloud networking, identity, monitoring, Git workflows, and containerized applications. I enjoy turning cloud and devops concepts into practical, well-documented labs and sharing what I learn.
I'm also a FinOps advocate making sure cloud resources are properly monitored, optimized, allocated, and governed for cost efficiency.
- ☁️ Cloud: Azure virtual machines, storage, virtual networks, private access, and AWS EC2/S3
- 🔐 Security: Microsoft Entra ID, access control, network security, and secure storage
- 📈 Observability: Azure Monitor and New Relic fundamentals
- 🛠️ Automation: Terraform, Git workflows, Docker, and scripting
- 📝 Knowledge sharing: Hands-on technical tutorials
- 🌱 Currently exploring: Kubernetes and deeper DevOps workflows
- 🤝 Open to: Cloud engineering, cloud support, DevOps, and open-source collaboration
My approach: Build it. Secure it. Monitor it. Automate it. Document it.
| Focus | Tools and concepts |
|---|---|
| Cloud platforms | Microsoft Azure, AWS |
| Compute & networking | Azure VMs, VNets, subnets, VNet peering, AWS EC2 |
| Storage & identity | Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, AWS S3, Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC |
| Infrastructure & delivery | Terraform, Docker, Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions |
| Operations & monitoring | Azure Monitor, New Relic, Linux, Nginx |
| Programming & configuration | Python, Bash, YAML |
| Engineering interests | Cloud security, observability, reliability, FinOps |
These repositories document hands-on practice and engineering workflows. I distinguish implemented work from future improvements rather than claiming production deployment where none is documented.
Designed and developed a luxury fragrance storefront with customer and admin experiences, an AI-powered scent finder, cloud-backed data, and documented payment verification workflows. The project link opens the README directly for an overview of the architecture and features.
Focus: React · TypeScript · Firebase/Firestore · Azure Blob Storage · Paystack · Gemini AI
Worked on the freeCodeCamp Python dictionary loops lesson issue, focusing on improving loop syntax and rounding explanations for learners. The linked issue provides context for the proposed curriculum improvements; this listing does not imply an accepted or merged pull request.
Focus: Python education · technical accuracy · open-source curriculum
An open-source, context-aware digital workspace project to which I've contributed.
Focus: Open source · collaboration · developer tooling
Next engineering milestones: Expand project READMEs with setup instructions, validation evidence, architecture diagrams, and CI checks.
I share practical walkthroughs and implementation notes on dev.to/tjasper, including:
- Azure: Virtual machines, VM Scale Sets, storage, networking, monitoring, and Microsoft Sentinel
- AWS: EC2 with IIS, S3 buckets, and presigned URLs
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform setup and AWS infrastructure automation
- Linux & web infrastructure: Linux virtual machines and Nginx
- Developer workflows: GitHub Pages, Git, and technical documentation
Let's build reliable infrastructure and share what we learn.
