NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a frontend & web systems developer with over four years of expertise building scalable websites and hosting infrastructures. I specialize in integrating automated billing systems (Clientexec, FOSSBilling), APIs, cron tasks, payment gateways, and CRM tools to keep systems reliable and efficient.
At Zumahost, I’m the Lead Developer, handling platform development, billing system architecture, and infrastructure setup—building and configuring FOSSBilling as a cost-effective alternative to WHMCS. I also lead automation (webhooks, mailing workflows), payment and client integrations, and focus on technical SEO, analytics reporting, and system security. Previously, I redeveloped an NGO website and launched a commercial hosting arm using WordPress (custom themes) and custom-coded frontend solutions.
