Daniel Okafor

Daniel Okafor
Daniel earned his B.Eng. in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from the University of Lagos and an M.Sc. in Cloud Computing from the University of Edinburgh. Early on, he built CI/CD pipelines for media platforms and later designed cost-aware multi-cloud architectures with strong observability and SLOs. He has a knack for bringing finance and engineering to the same table to reduce surprise bills without slowing teams. His articles cover practical DevOps: platform engineering patterns, developer-centric observability, and green-cloud practices that trim emissions and costs. Daniel leads workshops on cloud waste reduction and runs internal-platform clinics for startups. He mentors graduates transitioning into SRE roles, volunteers as a STEM tutor, and records a low-key podcast about humane on-call culture. Off duty, he’s a football fan, a street-photography enthusiast, and a Sunday-evening editor of his own dotfiles.
