OLUWASEGUN TORIOLA
FROM STEEL
TO CLOUD
My background is Mechanical Engineering — three years as a Data and Operations Specialist at a Lagos steel construction company before moving to Scotland in January 2025. That gives me something most cloud engineers don't have: I understand the physical operations these systems support.
Now finishing an MSc in IT at the University of the West of Scotland. My dissertation is ENGMart — a full three-tier AWS retail platform. Security audit went 61 to 84/90 across four rounds. Three critical vulnerabilities found and patched.
I build in public. Everything I make is deployed, documented, and live. Looking for data analyst, cloud engineering, and graduate IT roles across the UK.
PROJECTS THAT
ACTUALLY SHIP
ENGMart — Cloud Retail & Inventory Platform
Full three-tier AWS retail management platform built as MSc dissertation. React storefront, Node.js/Express admin backend, MySQL on RDS, Elastic Beanstalk compute, S3 + CloudFront with dual-origin setup. Put through a 90-point independent security audit — 61 to 84 across four rounds, three critical vulnerabilities identified and patched.
- Three-tier AWS: RDS MySQL, Elastic Beanstalk Node.js 24 compute, S3 + CloudFront dual-origin frontend
- Fixed privilege escalation via role field, missing admin guard on inventory route, hardcoded credentials
- IAM least-privilege across all services; Secrets Manager for credentials; HTTPS end-to-end via CloudFront OAC
NHS Sponsorship Tracker
Serverless AWS pipeline monitoring NHS Jobs UK every 6 hours. Two-stage sponsorship detection, DynamoDB deduplication, automated CV dispatch — zero manual steps.

- Two-stage filter: positive match then negative exclusion before database write
- OAC dashboard — HTTPS only, private S3, no public access
JobHunter Pro
Automated job-matching and CV tailoring. Scrapes Reed and Indeed every 20 minutes, uses Claude API to rewrite a tailored CV per role. 30+ minutes → under 2 per application.

- ReportLab PDF + Gmail SMTP delivery; 24/7 on AWS EC2
SponsorMap
UK visa sponsor search tool. Home Office register + Companies House API. Find employers legally able to hire international candidates — sub-second search.
