Engineering rigour meets delivery pragmatism
Nigerian-British, based in London. Emmanuel Pius-Ogiji is a Senior Platform Engineer with deep expertise across AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes, and a First-class MEng in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester. DDS works with a focused set of clients — deep engagement, not volume consulting.
Took full ownership of the project and led the team, delivering work that generated £3m in revenue over roughly two years.
Led the on-premise to AWS migration of the company's Content Management System — a platform responsible for approximately 40% of company revenue.
Building a new internal developer platform from scratch with a deeply GitOps-focused architecture — designed to strengthen disaster recovery posture and unlock enterprise clients.
DevOps, cloud, and AI consultancy. Recognised AWS DevOps Partner. Teaching, panels, and talks for Cloudboosta Academy.
Emmanuel is actively building with AI — designing agentic workflows, integrating LLMs into engineering processes, and using AI to validate decisions and accelerate delivery. This isn't a side interest; it's a core part of how DDS operates.
Nigerian-British, Londoner, and firm believer that who you are away from the keyboard shapes how you think at it. Outside work, Emmanuel is a devoted Arsenal supporter — been watching since the Invincibles era in 2003 and hasn't stopped suffering since. He trains hard: kickboxing, weights, and cardio most of the week, which probably explains the obsession with systems that don't fall over under load.
Family is everything. And when he's not training or watching football, you'll find him deep in a comic book film, series, or a professional wrestling show — passionate enough about the genre to talk about it on podcasts, including appearances on Popcorn for Dinner with his friend. He writes about all of it — tech, sport, wrestling, film — on Medium.
