KenyaBackend Software Engineer at Microsoft
About
I’m a Backend Software Engineer who improves user experiences by leading design and development of storage and contact-management features that reduce latency, handle millions of requests per day, and strengthen overall robustness with backup flows. I also ensure my team meets service level agreements by building dashboards, triage tools, and the telemetry needed for fast diagnosis.
Before Microsoft, I worked across microservices and full-stack projects, setting up CI/CD pipelines, contributing to web and Salesforce work, and leading the architecture and development of an admissions system used by ~20,000 applicants. I bring a strong engineering foundation from earlier roles spanning Go-based tooling, monitoring, and automation for production deployments.
