About

QA & DevOps Engineer.

Detail-oriented QA & DevOps Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with over 3 years of production experience — from functional regression and load testing to cloud infrastructure and bot defence.

When the question is “can this handle real traffic?”, the answer comes from Apache JMeter — simulating 100 to 500+ concurrent users, reading JTL output, and translating bottlenecks into actionable findings for backend teams. Two production bottlenecks caught before launch at Salesgroup AI. Not just running tests: reading the numbers and knowing what they mean.

One area that's become central: AI agent quality assurance. Health AI assistants need more than functional testing — they need stress-testing for response accuracy, relevance, safety guardrails, and alignment with product intent. Manual prompt engineering and structured evaluation rubrics, applied at H3O's Physician Copilot platform.

On the infrastructure side: GCP hosting, Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines, Terraform, and Prometheus/Grafana observability. Bot defence (reCAPTCHA v3 + WAF + rate limiting) reduced attacks by 85% across three AI SaaS platforms. MTA-STS domain hardening, server security reviews, and malicious IP blocking.

QA Engineer & DevOps Engineer

RaftMedia.AgencyAug 2025 — PresentRemote, USA

Lead software test engineer across three AI SaaS platforms — Salesgroup.ai, ChatQuick.ai, and WordWriter.co. Scope spans test planning, backend performance testing, API security hardening, and server infrastructure.

  • Led QA across Salesgroup.ai, ChatQuick.ai, and WordWriter.co — developed test plans and self-healing test suites for each platform.
  • Partnered with the backend engineering team to implement strategic API rate limits, enhanced log monitoring, and reCAPTCHA v3 — reducing bot attacks by over 85% and improving threat visibility.
  • Engineered and executed backend load and performance tests with Apache JMeter, simulating 500+ concurrent users to assess API scalability and surface bottlenecks.
  • Configured MTA-STS domain security, improving email transport security and overall domain hardening.
  • Maintained hosting platform security through periodic server updates, security incident scan reviews, and blocking malicious IP addresses to reduce attack exposure.
  • Generated actionable Apache JMeter load testing reports for development teams — analysing response times, throughput, error rates, and bottlenecks to support backend performance optimisation.

What sets me apart

  • I read the numbers. JMeter output becomes a report with root-cause analysis — not just a pass/fail.
  • I test AI agents, not just UIs. Prompt stress-testing, safety evaluation, and alignment checks require a different mindset than form validation.
  • I bridge QA and DevOps. Test pipelines, server hardening, and observability are part of my scope — not a separate team's problem.
  • I work asynchronously across time zones. All three current roles are remote — US-based teams, Lagos-based engineer.
