I’m Darren Carter — a South African ICT solutions architect, cybersecurity advisor, and entrepreneur with a passion for building secure, scalable, and smart technologies. With over a decade of experience spanning infrastructure, software engineering, and cloud services, I’ve helped businesses modernize, automate, and protect their digital ecosystems.
My journey includes founding CarterCo, a boutique ICT consultancy offering software development, hosting, IT support, and smart automation solutions. I enjoy connecting technology with human impact, which is why my recent projects include building a secure email relay system, designing smart access control devices, and developing custom VPN software for privacy-focused networks.
I thrive in cross-functional environments where innovation meets impact. Whether it's working hands-on with hardware and firmware, developing backend APIs in Node.js or Go, or orchestrating full-stack solutions using modern web technologies—my focus remains on excellence, security, and reliability.
