Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlfred Kinyua is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience designing and shipping high-performance, cost-efficient platforms across agriculture, cultural heritage, e-commerce, and entertainment. He specializes in Golang microservices, Dockerized infrastructures, real-time systems and observability (Grafana/Prometheus), and has proven expertise in securing platforms with Keycloak and the Ory stack. Alfred built Kenya’s Agricultural Sector Data Gateway and architected Najibu, a real-time multiplayer quiz that achieved sub-50ms gameplay and slashed hosting costs by over 99% through a self-hosted, scalable stack. He pairs hands-on coding (Flutter, React, PostgreSQL) with DevOps ownership—automating CI/CD and operating single-server systems supporting thousands of concurrent users. A pragmatic mentor and cross-functional collaborator, he balances developer coaching with stakeholder training for government and enterprise adopters. Based in Kenya with a BSc in Telecommunications Engineering and IT, he’s as comfortable tuning Goroutines for latency as he is designing user-facing mobile experiences.
