Franklin Osuji, Cloud & DevOps engineer in Berlin

I work on the infrastructure behind reliable software: repeatable deployments, monitoring and troubleshooting.

My day-to-day work includes AWS and Azure infrastructure, Terraform automation, containerized workloads, and CI/CD pipelines. Outside of work, I build hands-on lab projects to practise Kubernetes, failure testing, and observability. I publish selected project source code so recruiters and engineers can review my approach to cloud infrastructure and automation.

Technologies: AWS, Azure, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Prometheus, Grafana, Python, and Bash.

Projects

Three projects I would walk you through. Each one links to its source and shows its architecture.

PlatformOps-Lab

A local Kubernetes platform for practising infrastructure, deployment and observability without paid cloud resources.

What it shows

  • Reproducible cluster setup: Terraform and Kind build the foundation.
  • Declarative configuration with Kustomize and Helm, delivered with Git-based GitOps practices.
  • Metrics and log observability with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.

Built with

Terraform, Kind, Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Argo CD, Flux, Trivy, Snyk

ChaosForge

A local reliability lab that injects controlled failures into containerized workloads and measures detection, recovery, MTTR and SLO impact.

What it shows

  • Failure experiments run from PowerShell against Docker workloads.
  • Detection and recovery tracked with Prometheus and Grafana.
  • MTTR measurement and SLO evaluation built into the workflow.

Built with

Python, FastAPI, Docker, PowerShell, Prometheus, Grafana

CloudPulse

A cloud operations project that ingests metrics, detects anomalies and exposes health information through a REST API.

What it shows

  • Containerized FastAPI services that ingest and process operational metrics.
  • Anomaly detection and health signals persisted in PostgreSQL.
  • A reusable REST API for dashboards and alerting integrations.

Built with

Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, REST API

Also built

LocalCloud Control Plane, a local-first platform engineering simulation with a React and Vite dashboard, a Node.js and Express API, service lifecycle management and deployment state.

How this site is built

This site is a Next.js app in a public GitHub repository, hosted on Cloudflare Pages. A GitHub Actions workflow runs on every push to main and on every pull request.

  1. Type-check

    tsc --noEmit catches type errors before anything is built.

  2. Build

    next build produces the production site. A failed build stops the run.

  3. Security scan

    Trivy scans the repository and its dependencies for known vulnerabilities and reports high and critical findings.

The workflow file is part of the repository, so you can read exactly what runs.
