Reliable systems,

About
David Ekene Cletus

IT support by trade, cloud engineer by practice

I'm a Computer Science graduate (B.Sc, National Open University of Nigeria) working as an IT Support / Graduate Trainee Consultant at NGK & Co Chartered Accountants in Lagos, where I support accounting systems, internal controls, and end-user technology for audit engagements.

Alongside that, I'm self-teaching cloud engineering on Microsoft Azure — deploying real infrastructure (virtual networks, scale sets, storage) and writing up every lab as a technical blog series, while working toward the AZ-900, AZ-104, and AZ-400 certifications.
