Hi, I'm Ben Lester

Software & Systems Engineer — I take vague requirements and ship production-ready products.

I work across the full lifecycle: scoping, architecture, backend, infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, and long-term operations. My background spans backend systems, fintech and telecom integrations, mobile (Android), embedded IoT, and full-stack delivery — with a focus on reliability and getting things into production.

Four years as the sole engineer on a 4G mobile proxy SaaS platform: Android app, Windows/Linux client software, server-side relay infrastructure, customer dashboard, and payment processing — designed, built, and operated end-to-end.

What I work with

Languages: Go · Python · JavaScript · PHP · Java · Bash · C/C++

Frontend: React · Next.js · Node.js · Tailwind CSS · Bootstrap

Backend & APIs: RESTful APIs · Webhooks · USSD Systems · Fintech Integrations · Payment Card Processing · M-Pesa · SMS Gateways

Infrastructure: Linux · Docker · LXC · Proxmox · AWS · GCP · Monitoring & Alerting · CI/CD

Data: MySQL · MariaDB · SQLite · Redis

Embedded & IoT: Arduino · ESP32 · Raspberry Pi · MQTT · OpenWrt · Android

Currently

Freelancing through Prinx Creatives — available for freelance projects, consulting, and full-time remote/hybrid roles.
