I'm a founder-turned-software engineer with over 10 years of experience in infrastructure, server management, and web hosting. After running Obambu, a hosting company serving 2,000+ clients, I transitioned into hands-on engineering building backend systems, web apps, and automation tools.

At 42 School, I’ve completed projects ranging from low-level C/C++ system programming to full-stack web applications using Python, Django, and JavaScript. I’ve developed REST APIs, real-time features, and scalable backend logic—deploying services with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS.

I'm currently:

• Deepening my full-stack skills with Node.js and TypeScript
• Adding Redis Pub/Sub and Celery into personal tools like cPsentry
• Learning Terraform and Kubernetes for production-ready infrastructure

Multiplayer Pong game built with Django & JavaScript, featuring both offline and online gameplay.

• 🌐 Real-time sync via WebSockets
• 🐳 Dockerized stack for dev/prod
• ⚙️ CI/CD on AWS (EC2, S3, GitHub Actions)
• 🔐 Secrets via Vault, WAF with ModSecurity, monitored with Prometheus + Grafana
• 🌍 Contributed across backend and frontend (i18n, UI, game logic)

Custom tool to monitor & secure cPanel and KVM infrastructure.

• 🔍 Tracks mail queues, Apache, DB, filesystem health
• 📡 Telegram alerts & IP blocking via iptables
• ⚙️ Flask API backend + Bash integrations
• 🧩 Unified architecture coming soon (KVM + cPanel)

Multi-container Docker Compose project simulating a local production setup.

• 🖥️ WordPress (PHP-FPM), Redis, MariaDB, Adminer, MailHog
• 🎨 Static site with Tailwind CSS
• 🔐 Network isolation, SSL, persistent volumes

Two Unix-based system programming projects in C and C++:

• 🐚 Minishell: Custom shell with redirections, signals, piping
• 💬 IRC: RFC-compliant server using select() for multiplexed socket handling

• Full-Stack Expansion: Building new features with Node.js, TypeScript, and Django REST APIs
• Backend Architecture: Exploring Redis Pub/Sub and Celery for decoupling logic and managing async background tasks
• Testing for Robustness: Practicing automated testing with pytest, Postman, and best practices for maintainable API design
• cPsentry v2: Enhancing the tool with unified monitoring logic for both KVM and cPanel, plus safer IP control and modular alerting
• DevOps Tools: Currently building a production pipeline with Terraform and Kubernetes.
