What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build scalable applications and cloud infrastructure, lead end-to-end delivery, improve reliability and deployment speed, and mentor teams while solving meaningful business problems.

I've built scalable applications at RingSlack, OCTO VAULT LIMITED, and MBM Media UK, including secure dashboards, REST APIs, payment integrations, and platforms serving up to 50,000 monthly visitors.

At RingSlack, I architected role-based JWT authentication, tenant isolation, and dashboards integrating Stripe, PayPal, Twilio, Mailcow, AWS S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud.

As founder of DM Smarters, I've delivered 50+ projects across 5+ countries, built Discord and Telegram bots for 5,000+ active users, and maintained 99.95% AWS uptime while reducing hosting costs by 25%.

I also bring enterprise IT operations experience, having led a 200-seat call center launch with VoIP, PBX, and IVR infrastructure supporting 10,000+ daily calls and ITIL processes that reduced incident resolution time by 70%.
