Description

I design and ship resilient backend systems, distributed workflows and enterprise API integrations — 8+ years across telecoms, finance, SaaS, education and startups.

Currently a Software Engineer at Connectbase, building provider integrations and quote orchestration across telecom supplier APIs (authentication, mapping, polling, retries, distributed state). Previously: Confirmation of Payee on a regulated banking platform at Civica PayTech, full-stack delivery at CACI, and internal tooling for Deutsche Bank.

Through my consultancy JaziraTech (jaziratech.com), I deliver custom APIs, web & mobile applications, AI integration and automation for startups and scale-ups — a transparent five-step process from free consultation to zero-downtime launch.

What you get: end-to-end ownership (analysis → build → test → release → support), clear communication with product and non-technical stakeholders, and production-grade habits — automated testing, CI/CD, structured logging, documentation.

Recent work: Xaqiiji Video, a bilingual video-verification platform (FastAPI, Next.js, FFmpeg/OpenCV), and three free community web apps. Portfolio: mohamedisakali.com
