About Me

Hi, my name is Mathida Duku, and I'm a Cloud Engineer with a passion for building and managing secure and scalable cloud infrastructure.


I specialize in Linux and a variety of cloud infrastructure technologies, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Digital Ocean. I have experience in DevOps methodologies and practices such as CI/CD and automation with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible. I'm skilled in containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. I'm also proficient in web development technologies like HTML and CSS.


As a Cloud Engineer, I'm constantly learning and keeping up with the latest trends and advancements in cloud technology. My goal is to use my skills and experience to help businesses optimize their cloud infrastructure and achieve their goals.


I'm a team player with strong communication skills and a passion for collaborating on complex projects. When I'm not working, I enjoy watching tv shows, reading, and listening to podcasts or music.
