Work with me

Hi, I'm Gideon. I'm a cloud engineer in Lagos, and I write about AWS.

Most of what I write starts the same way: I build the thing, it breaks, and I work out why.

My last project was meant to be a simple AI API on Amazon Bedrock. First, my AWS account's organization blocked Lambda. Then it turned out only one Region was allowed. Then Bedrock told me I'd used up my tokens for the day before I'd sent a single real request. I got it working anyway, and those three problems became the most useful part of the write-up.

That's the kind of writing I do for other people too.

What I can write for you

Tutorials your developers can actually follow. I deploy every step in a real AWS account before I write it down. If a command needs a flag the official docs forget to mention, you'll find it in mine.

Blog posts with a point of view. Comparisons, architecture breakdowns and "here's what went wrong" posts. Things a reader learns from, not 1,500 words written around a keyword.

Docs for your product. Getting-started guides and setup pages written from the seat of someone installing it for the first time, because that's exactly how I test them.

LinkedIn posts for founders and CTOs. I've ghostwritten before and run social media for businesses. Give me 15 minutes of your thinking on a topic, and I'll turn it into posts that sound like you and hold up in front of engineers.

What I work with

AWS is home base: Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, S3, CloudWatch and Amazon Bedrock. I build infrastructure with Terraform and write code in Python and Bash.

See my work

bedrock-serverless-api on GitHub: a serverless AI API built with Bedrock, Lambda and Terraform, plus a script for finding out what a locked-down AWS account will actually let you do. The full write-up is coming to this blog soon.
