Challenge:SMEs and agencies spend thousands of dollars each month on paid media strategists who manually iterate ad creatives, tweak bidding, and prune underperforming audiences, leading to slow cycle times and high overhead.
Engineering Architecture:Designed an end-to-end autonomous agentic system before agentic AI became mainstream. The agent conducts automated competitor research, generates multi-variant copy and creatives, deploys campaigns via Meta Graph & Google Ads APIs, monitors ROAS in real time, and dynamically reallocates budget based on live performance.
Verified Outcome:Secured 1st Place at the Kenya DevFest Hackathon (Mt Kenya Hub) against top regional engineering talent, with judges praising the seamless convergence of agentic decision-making and deep advertising mechanics.

PRODUCTION DEVOPS & SOVEREIGN INFRASTRUCTURE

Self-Hosted, Resilient Systems Architecture

Most developers stop at pushing to Vercel. I own the entire production stack: containerized orchestration, dynamic reverse proxying, SSL automation, and enterprise cyber defense on sovereign client VPS hardware.

Autonomous Deployment & Security Pipeline
Step 1 • PaaS Engine
Dokploy Orchestrator
Git-push trigger, multi-stage Docker build, zero-downtime container rollouts.
Step 2 • Runtime
Docker Isolation
Multi-tenant container sandboxing, lightweight Alpine base images, resource bounds.
Step 3 • Edge Routing
Traefik Reverse Proxy
Dynamic service discovery, automated Let's Encrypt SSL, load balancing & gzip.
Step 4 • Cyber Defense
CrowdSec Firewall
Intrusion prevention, distributed IP reputation bouncer, Layer 7 exploit mitigation.

Dokploy (PaaS Orchestration)

Application Lifecycle & Zero-Downtime Deployments

Automates Git-triggered builds, container rollouts, environment secrets, and rollback mechanics directly on sovereign VPS hardware.

Traefik Reverse Proxy

Dynamic Routing & Automated SSL Termination

Edge routing layer managing Let's Encrypt certificates, load balancing, rate limiting, and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects automatically.

CrowdSec Cyber Defense

Intrusion Detection & Collaborative Firewall

Community-driven threat intelligence blocking brute-force attacks, malicious scrapers, and Layer 7 exploits at the network boundary.

Docker Isolation

Containerized Sovereignty & Multi-Tenancy

Eliminates third-party PaaS lock-in (AWS/Vercel markups) by keeping client data and compute strictly on client-owned virtual private servers.

Why this matters for your engineering team: By pairing full-stack code with sovereign DevOps, I ship production architectures that cut cloud hosting bills by up to 80% while retaining total client data sovereignty and SLA guarantees.
