Malcolm Kahora

I’m a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with hands-on experience designing scalable, secure, and automated infrastructure systems. I specialize in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and CloudFormation, building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and managing deployments in AWS environments. My recent projects include: Building a multi-region PKI system with automated certificate rotation and containerized EJBCA deployment across three AWS regions. Creating a full AMI deployment pipeline using Packer and AWS SSM versioning to ensure traceable, consistent infrastructure builds. Designing a Django-based dashboard to monitor cluster-level storage metrics in petabyte-scale systems at Northwestern Mutual. I bring a strong scripting background in Python and Bash, backed by Linux systems experience and the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification. Whether it’s automating builds, securing infrastructure, or increasing observability, I focus on reliability, repeatability, and production-readiness. I’m currently looking to join a DevOps or platform team where I can contribute to infrastructure scalability, deployment automation, and operational resilience from day one.
