About

I’m an AWS Certified DevOps Engineer with a unique career journey spanning fashion and technology, bringing creativity, adaptability, and systems thinking into every solution I build. At TEG, I focus on designing and maintaining scalable, secure cloud infrastructure, improving system efficiency, and enabling reliable deployments using modern DevOps practices. I work extensively with AWS, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-based workflows to help teams ship faster and smarter. Alongside my full-time role, I’m a speaker, mentor, and advocate for career reinvention, inclusive tech, supporting both women professionals navigating or advancing their careers in technology, and with a special passion for empowering young women exploring tech pathways for the first time. I speak at conferences, workshops, schools, and community events on: * Career pivots and non-linear journeys into tech * Women in tech: growth, visibility, and leadership * Empowering young women to pursue careers in STEM * Bridging creativity with cloud and DevOps engineering I believe strongly in the power of transferable skills, representation, and storytelling to open doors for the next generation. I’m passionate about continuous learning, solving real-world system problems, and collaborating with teams to deliver meaningful impact. Organised, inquisitive, bold, authentic, and adventurous, I thrive in environments that value innovation, growth, and community.
