What it does
Suluhu connects customers with vetted home-service professionals across home, professional, and beauty categories. A customer searches for the service they need, books a slot, and gets matched with a verified provider; the provider completes the job and gets paid once it's confirmed done.
Home services
Home insurance, house painting, and cleaning.
Professional services
Electrical and plumbing, carpentry and painting, TV and electronics.
Beauty services
Hair and nail care, skin care and spa, makeup and lashes.
Trust, by design
- Background checks, qualification verification, and interviews for every provider
- Upfront pricing with no hidden fees
- Secure payments, released to providers only after the customer confirms the job is done
- A satisfaction guarantee, with support reachable within 24 hours of a service
My role
I architect and deploy Suluhu's full-stack internal and external applications, and own production cloud operations end to end: infrastructure provisioning, deployment automation, security hardening, backups, monitoring, and incident response. I also administer the company's Google Workspace and Microsoft identity systems with role-based access control.
