Solutions Architect Azure Certified Expert Optimizely DXP & Commerce

Mohammad Dameer

I design and lead the build of .NET systems on Azure for teams that have to ship and keep shipping. Nineteen years in, I still write the architecture document before the first line of code, review the code that follows it, and coach the people who write it.

What I’m working on

Current role and the platform it’s built on.

Solutions architect for a multi‑app equipment hire platform serving the UK market. I own the architecture across the public website, customer portals, and the backend services that connect them to Optimizely Commerce, Azure AD B2C, and the ERP.

The job is to set the technical direction and make sure it holds: recommending solutions and the roadmap to get there, proving risky designs with proof‑of‑concepts before the team commits, reviewing other engineers’ solution designs, and leading delivery through the full project lifecycle. Underneath that sits a modular‑monolith backend in .NET, identity and secrets on Azure, and the pipelines that take all of it to production.

What I bring

DESIGN

Architecture that lasts

I turn loose business requirements into systems a team can build, operate and change for years: written down first, then built incrementally.

BUILD

The stack I know inside out

.NET end to end, Azure for identity, secrets, hosting and delivery, and Optimizely on top for content and commerce.

DELIVER

Pipelines that guard the main branch

Every pull request is built, tested and audited before a human reviews it, and every release follows the same automated path to production. Nothing reaches main on trust alone.

Teams that ship

Ten years leading engineering teams across four countries: hiring, code review, mentoring, and keeping quality up when the deadline is close.
