Mark Katamba is a DevOps engineer with six years of hands-on experience transforming quality-focused beginnings into cloud-native reliability and automation. He specializes in Terraform, CI/CD (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Azure DevOps), and Kubernetes operations—highlighted by a zero-downtime EKS upgrade and an AWS-to-on-prem migration that cut costs 25% while preserving 99.9% uptime for 30+ microservices. Comfortable across Azure and AWS, he builds reusable infrastructure modules, GitOps pipelines, and resilient backup solutions that protect hundreds of gigabytes of production data. His career started in contact centers and QA, which gave him a strong user-first perspective and a knack for mentoring QA teams while avoiding the “oops I broke production” rookie moments. Based in Kampala, he also writes about QA, DevOps, and AI and blends technical troubleshooting with clear storytelling to make complex ops accessible.
