Olaitan Falolu

I am a Platform Engineering Leader with over 7 years of experience leading platform engineering and cloud infrastructure for large-scale financial systems.

I currently lead DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering for a digital banking platform supporting over 2 million users and processing high volumes of financial transactions daily. My work focuses on designing and operating systems that are reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient within regulated environments.

I have led initiatives across cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, and system observability, delivering measurable outcomes including improved platform stability, reduced operational overhead, and 20–30% optimisation in cloud costs.

My experience spans Kubernetes, Azure cloud environments, and modern DevOps practices, with a strong focus on aligning engineering decisions with business impact.

Beyond my core role, I contribute to the wider technology ecosystem through technical publications, mentorship, open-source contributions, and cloud consulting
