Currently, I lead the IT department at Manty, where I built the company’s IT infrastructure from the ground up.

My role also involves developing process automation and applications through Power Automate and Power Apps, along with providing user support as needed.

Projects

Pison Express
Jan 2024 - Present

Pison Express is a company specializing in moving residences, offices, and providing warehouse services. I developed their website using the Django web framework for the backend, Django templates, Bootstrap, and JavaScript for the frontend. The site is deployed on an Ubuntu 22.04 server with Apache and configured with an SMTP service to send emails for quote requests and contacts. PostgreSQL is used as the database to store quote requests, contact requests, and FAQs, which can be managed through the Django admin site.
