Summary
Theodore Smith is a founder and versatile technology leader with 9 years of professional experience running product teams, refactoring legacy systems, and building scalable web platforms across PHP, Node.js and modern front-end frameworks. He has led migrations, security remediations and platform rebuilds at large enterprises like IBM and Hearst while founding and scaling PHP Experts and the recently launched Autonomo AI. Comfortable switching roles from architect and systems engineer to top-performing salesperson and operations lead, he repeatedly takes on far broader responsibility than initially assigned and drives measurable improvements such as large CVE reductions and complex database optimizations. Theodore’s background uniquely blends hands‑on engineering (PHP/Laravel, Symfony, Docker/Kubernetes) with business stewardship—closing deals, managing P&Ls and negotiating client relationships—bringing both technical depth and entrepreneurial grit. Based in New Cairo City, he pairs wide-ranging domain experience (healthcare, media, ecommerce, ticketing) with a practical focus on process and systems engineering.
