I'm Edith Cherotich, a DevOps & Cloud Engineer in Nairobi. I design secure, scalable AWS infrastructure and automate the boring parts, so the systems I build stay reliable long after I've shipped them.
Hey there! I'm Edith, a DevOps & Cloud Engineer passionate about designing cloud solutions that solve real-world problems. I thrive on simplifying complex challenges and creating secure, scalable infrastructures that adapt to each project's needs.
With a love for continuous learning, my goal is to help businesses thrive by building cloud strategies that drive efficiency and results — whether that means streamlining processes, cutting cost, or hardening security.
My path here wasn't a straight line: I hold a B.Sc. in Environmental Science and made a deliberate pivot into cloud engineering, which is part of why I care so much about making infrastructure legible to the people who depend on it.
A peek into my work as a DevOps & cloud engineer, where automation and reliability come together. Each project tackles a real infrastructure challenge, start to finish.

I was really impressed with the AWS cloud hosting setup by Edith. She was patient and explained everything in simple terms so I could understand it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for AWS experts who deliver great results!
Edith's deep understanding of cloud technologies and infrastructure made a huge difference in optimizing our system. Her ability to troubleshoot and provide solutions is top-notch. Highly recommended!
Edith's expertise made a huge difference. Efficient, knowledgeable, and reliable — exactly what we needed!
Have infrastructure that needs to scale, or a system that keeps breaking at 2am? I'd love to hear about it.
