Software & Data Engineer · Nairobi, Kenya
Ships production systems end to end — schema to screen.
Backend-focused engineer working mainly in Python. I design relational schemas and REST APIs with Django and PostgreSQL, handle async and scheduled work with Celery and Redis, and build React frontends when a project needs one.
Comfortable across the deployment side too — Docker, Linux, nginx, AWS — and experienced integrating third-party systems: payment gateways, ERPs over XML-RPC, and hardware that speaks its own protocol. Particular depth in offline-first architecture: conflict resolution, queued writes, and sync for clients that lose connectivity for days at a time.
Final-year BSc Computer Science, Kabarak University, graduating 2026. Languages: English, Swahili, French.
