Your brand deserves more than content that just fills a feed. I help businesses - especially founders, startups, and growing brands - show up clearly, consistently, and in a way that actually sounds like them. With a corporate marketing background and hands-on freelance experience, I bring both strategic thinking and execution: ✦ Brand strategy & positioning: clarity on what you stand for and how to say it ✦ Marketing plans: structured roadmaps you can actually act on ✦ Copywriting: captions, ads, emails, and web copy that convert ✦ Social media content: content calendars, direction, and writing ✦ Presentation design: polished decks for pitches, reports, or strategy ✦ Video editing (CapCut): travel content and brand reels I've delivered travel video projects on Upwork with 5-star results, and I've worked across brand planning, content strategy, and campaign execution in corporate marketing roles. If you need someone who can think at the strategy level and still roll up their sleeves on the execution - let's talk.

I help crypto, forex, and stock-market businesses ship trader-credible content, conversion-focused design, and integrated product builds. Without the back-and-forth of hiring three different specialists. I'm Reddy Shyam Shankar Garla. A funded trader (FTMO, Funded Trader, CTI), published author, multi-disciplinary designer, and full-stack developer based in Dubai. Top Rated on Upwork with 95% Job Success, $200K+ earned across 198 contracts, and 10,400+ hours logged. What I deliver: 1. Crypto, forex, and stocks domain work. Long-form articles, exchange reviews, whitepapers, ebooks, technical analysis, broker marketing, and SEO content that reads native to traders, not borrowed from a content brief. Published on Seeking Alpha (as "Hunting Alpha"), Keenbase Trading, Authory, Forex Academy, and across X/Twitter for live market commentary. Four published ebooks including "Fundamentals of Trading", "How to Become a Millionaire in Cryptocurrency", "Bitcoin Basics", and "Fundamentals of Crypto Investing". 2. Design and video. UI/UX in Figma. Recent work includes Dreamcars (crypto presale), AAYU (healthcare AI app), ZeroHeroes (Web3 carbon credits), Ditch Dollar (copytrader), and the Milly FX broker website. Logo design, brand identity, illustration, 2D and 3D work, motion graphics, pitch decks, and end-to-end video editing across long-form YouTube and short-form Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. 3. Full-stack development. Alongside an engineering team I've worked with since 2017, I ship end-to-end product. React, Vue, Next.js, React Native on the front end. Node.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Go on the back end. AI and ML integration (LLMs, predictive analytics, NLP, computer vision). Blockchain and Web3 (smart contracts, DEX, mobile wallets, NFT marketplaces). Compliance-ready: SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and World Bank Group Vendor experience. Notable clients: KuCoin, Bybit, Coinstats, Mintos, Coingape, Bittrex, Binance, Darico, Metacade, INDT, CedarFX, EagleFx, LonghornFx, Hugosway, Vantage FX. Case studies that show the depth: AI-powered due-diligence SaaS for a VC/PE client. Re-architected platform plus a proprietary AI engine cut deal-flow review time 80%, helped raise an $8M seed round, achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, and onboarded the platform as a World Bank Group vendor. Operations SaaS for Acube Real Estate, Dubai. Custom KPI dashboard with AI-powered employee monitoring delivered a 45% efficiency gain, 90% lead-time reduction, and 25% revenue lift. HIPAA-compliant cloud and AI cyber-security build for VitalAxis Inc, USA. 93% threat reduction, 99.8% uptime, full migration to a resilient cloud architecture. How I work: I clarify scope before the meter runs. Every project starts with a short questions-and-assumptions doc so we both agree on what "done" looks like, then I ship in tight milestones with weekly demos. If I'm not the right fit, I say so honestly rather than waste your Connects or your time. Based in Dubai (GMT+4). Available across US, EU, and APAC overlap windows, comfortable with async-first communication, and able to start same-day when the brief is clear. Let's talk: If you have a project in any of these areas (crypto / forex / stocks content, finance-product UI/UX, video, or full-stack development with a financial or AI angle) send me a message or invite me directly. I reply within a few hours during UAE business hours and can usually start within 1 to 2 days of scope sign-off.
