Saidi Manyerere

I am a results-driven DevOps Engineer and Backend Developer with over 5 years of experience designing, building, and optimizing secure, scalable systems for startups, SMEs, and mission-driven platforms. My expertise spans cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean), backend development (Python, Node.js), and CI/CD automation, enabling me to deliver high-performance applications that are resilient, cost-efficient, and easy to maintain.

Over the years, I have helped organizations across Africa and beyond reduce infrastructure costs, streamline deployment workflows, and improve uptime through proactive monitoring, automated failovers, and secure system designs. I specialize in turning complex technical requirements into practical, maintainable solutions.

What I can do for you:

• Cloud Architecture & Optimization – Design and deploy infrastructure that scales efficiently, with proven results in reducing costs by up to 30%.
• Backend Development – Build APIs, integrate payment gateways, and create data-driven systems using Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
• CI/CD & Automation – Implement GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or CircleCI pipelines for zero-downtime deployments.
• Monitoring & Security – Set up Grafana, Prometheus, and custom alerting systems, alongside security best practices like SSL automation and IAM policies.
• System Migration & Modernization – Move from monolithic architectures to microservices using Docker and Kubernetes.

I believe in building long-term partnerships with my clients, ensuring each project is not only completed on time but also built to evolve with your business needs. Whether you need a one-time troubleshooting session, ongoing DevOps support, or a complete system build from scratch, I can step in at any stage and deliver value.

Let’s work together to bring your ideas to life and keep your systems running at their best.
