Building secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure through automation, Linux, and modern cloud technologies.
I'm Raphael Olaniyi, a cloud technology enthusiast focused on cloud platform engineering, DevOps, Linux administration, and FinOps.
I enjoy building hands-on projects, automating infrastructure tasks, exploring cloud technologies, and understanding how organisations can operate secure, reliable, and cost-efficient cloud environments.
- ☁️ Exploring cloud infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
- 🐧 Building practical Linux administration and Bash scripting skills.
- 🚀 Developing hands-on projects using Git, GitHub, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- 💰 Applying FinOps principles to cloud cost visibility, optimisation, and financial accountability.
- 🔐 Learning cloud security, identity management, networking, and infrastructure monitoring.
- 🤝 Contributing to open-source projects and collaborating with developer communities.
- 🎯 Continuously developing my skills through practical projects and professional certifications.
My philosophy: Learn continuously, build practically, automate intelligently, and optimise relentlessly.

- kora-oss/kora-pay — Shipped a zero-dependency CLI (
npx kora-pay quote) for instant seat-based pricing quotes, wired into the package binaries, documented, and covered by 11 unit tests. - raphgm/cloudcost-cli — Added a SQL cost-anomaly policy that flags day-over-day spend spikes against a trailing 7-day average, with a full-baseline guard and 6 policy tests.
- raphgm/pinpointpro — Documented browser prerequisites and added contributor records for the Phase 2 project.
⭐ I'm always open to collaborating on cloud computing, Linux, DevOps, automation, and Kubernetes projects.
I'm continually expanding my practical knowledge in the following areas:
| Area | Focus |
|---|---|
| ☁️ Cloud Engineering | Azure infrastructure, networking, identity, and resource management |
| 🐧 Linux | System administration, permissions, processes, and shell scripting |
| 🚀 DevOps | Git workflows, CI/CD concepts, containers, and automation |
| ☸️ Kubernetes | Container orchestration and cloud-native application deployment |
| 🏗️ Infrastructure as Code | Terraform and repeatable infrastructure provisioning |
| 💰 FinOps | Cloud cost allocation, optimisation, governance, and financial accountability |
| 🔐 Cloud Security | Identity, access control, secure networking, and monitoring |
I'm always happy to connect with cloud professionals, FinOps practitioners, DevOps engineers, open-source contributors, and technology enthusiasts.
