Summary
Sylvester Okonkwo is a Solutions Architect and cloud-savvy software engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building data-driven systems and DevOps infrastructure. He blends deep academic training in control science and engineering (MEng/PhD) with practical roles across AI-driven environmental analytics, legacy-to-cloud migrations, and full-stack product delivery. At IQAir he led ML and data engineering work to improve air quality forecasting and sensor calibration, while at Keylight and Briza he modernized AWS infrastructure and CI/CD using Terraform and DevOps practices. Now at AudioShake he focuses on scalable architectures that bridge cloud, ML, and real-time media workflows. A former control engineer and embedded systems developer, he brings a systems-thinking approach that surfaces in anomaly detection, time-series modelling, and robust production pipelines. Based in Old Toronto, he pairs hobbyist curiosity with pragmatic architecture—comfortable prototyping low-level embedded solutions as well as designing cloud-native platforms.
