Sheik Dawood M builds systems that know where things are.
Full Stack Laravel Developer & Team Lead — SGT Solutions
3+ years shipping government digital-transformation platforms, geospatial (GIS) systems, and enterprise applications — now leading a team and taking projects international, from Tamil Nadu to Doha.
A full stack developer who ended up specializing in two things most developers avoid: government systems (compliance-heavy, high-stakes) and geospatial data (genuinely hard to get right). Now doing both, plus leading the team that builds them.
WHAT I DO
Architect and build Laravel-based enterprise applications end to end
Design GIS-enabled systems using GeoServer, OpenLayers, and PostGIS
Lead a development team — reviews, planning, delivery
Handle secure authentication, RBAC, and API design

Open to relocating to the Gulf and Singapore
