Your social media should not feel like constant guesswork. It should have a clear plan behind it, content that makes sense for your brand, and a strategy that supports where you want your business to go.
I help businesses grow their organic social media presence through content strategy, strong planning, and consistent social media management.
Every piece of content should have a purpose, whether that is building awareness, strengthening trust, encouraging engagement, or helping your brand stay visible in a way that feels aligned.
Here’s how I can support your brand:
• Organic social media strategy and content planning
• Content creation
• Posts, carousels, Reels, Stories, and short-form videos
• Content scheduling and organisation
• Engagement and community management
• Monthly performance reporting
Tools I use:
Canva Pro, CapCut Pro, Meta Business Suite, Metricool, Trello, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Drive.
If you’re looking for a social media manager who can bring clearer direction, better structure, and a strategy-first approach to your organic content, I’d love to support your business.

With 14 years of experience in software engineering, I have honed my expertise in developing robust, scalable applications, initially focusing on Java, and more recently embracing Go as my primary programming language. I also have significant experience with C and NodeJS, allowing me to tackle complex backend challenges with ease. My passion for Go stems from its simplicity, efficiency, and the delightful developer experience it offers.
Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of technologies, which has allowed me to adapt to various project requirements seamlessly. I am particularly proficient in using Postgres, but I am also experienced with a wide array of relational and NoSQL databases.
I have had the privilege of contributing to both large corporations and innovative startups, where I've often written the very first line of code, transforming visionary ideas into functional software solutions. My extensive background in both structured environments and fast-paced startups equips me to handle projects of any scale with agility and precision.
Whether you need a seasoned developer to build from scratch or to enhance existing systems, I am committed to delivering high-quality, efficient solutions that align with your goals.
Thank you for considering my profile. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and bring your ideas to life.
