About Me

Hello, I'm Suleiman.

I'm a Software and DevOps Engineer who builds fullstack, responsive, and scalable digital solutions. I design database models, develop secure backend systems, and create user-focused web experiences that turn ideas into reliable, modern applications.

I'm a constant learner exploring new technologies daily - cloud engineering, automation, cybersecurity, backend systems, modern frontend frameworks, and database design. I'm also an AI enthusiast, studying AI in my free time to understand intelligent systems and their impact on the future of technology.

My growth is driven by hands-on experimentation, continuous research, and working closely with AI-powered tools to sharpen my skills. Creativity, curiosity, and consistency guide everything I do.

What I do

Full-Stack Engineering

I design and ship complete web applications from database schema to responsive UI using React, Node.js, Django, and TypeScript.

Cloud Infrastructure on AWS

I architect and deploy scalable cloud systems using EC2, Lambda, ECS, S3, API Gateway, and CloudFormation with cost and reliability in mind.

DevOps & CI/CD Automation

I build automated pipelines that take code from commit to production using Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Tekton, and ArgoCD.

Security-Aware Development

Every system I build follows security best practices JWT authentication, IAM least-privilege, input sanitization, rate limiting, and OWASP guidelines.

Journey

How I got here

2026

Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Bayero University Kano. Currently building in public shipping portfolio projects, cloud infrastructure work, and writing technical articles on DevOps and AWS.

2025

Earned multiple industry certifications including AWS Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900), IBM Applied DevOps Engineering, and Google Cybersecurity. Deepened expertise in cloud security and infrastructure automation.

2024

Expanded cloud skills with a focus on AWS building serverless pipelines, event-driven architectures, and containerized microservices. Completed Meta Front-End and Back-End Developer certificates. Delivered TechVerse, TalentHive, and the DevOps Capstone project.

2023

Discovered IBM's Full Stack Software Developer and DevOps Engineering programs on Coursera a turning point. Was introduced to cloud computing, CI/CD, and enterprise-grade DevOps practices. IBM Cloud and multi-cloud concepts opened a new direction in my engineering journey.

2022

Completed a comprehensive full-stack web development curriculum. Mastered core concepts in frontend, backend, databases, and RESTful API design through structured study and hands-on project work, guided by Colt Steele's curriculum.

2021

Strengthened computer science fundamentals by studying data structures and algorithms with Abdul Bari one of the most respected educators in the field. Enrolled at Bayero University Kano to pursue a degree in Software Engineering.

2020

Discovered Tim Buchalka's Python Masterclass one of the most comprehensive Python courses available. Began coding seriously during the COVID-19 lockdown, building small projects and developing a consistent daily learning habit.

2019

Started building with WordPress, writing blog content, and developing custom PHP plugins. First experience with server-side logic and content management systems.

2018

Discovered HTML and CSS while in secondary school (SS1) and built my first web pages. Explored web development out of curiosity the beginning of a long journey.

How I write code

Real snippets from real projects - not tutorial output.

PythonAWS Lambda Handler
import boto3
import json

rekognition = boto3.client('rekognition')

def handler(event, context):
    bucket = event['Records'][0]['s3']['bucket']['name']
    key = event['Records'][0]['s3']['object']['key']
    
    response = rekognition.detect_faces(
        Image={'S3Object': {'Bucket': bucket, 'Name': key}},
        Attributes=['ALL']
    )
    
    emotions = [
        face['Emotions'][0]
        for face in response['FaceDetails']
        if face['Emotions']
    ]
    return {'statusCode': 200, 'body': json.dumps(emotions)}
