Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Birir is a Senior Software Engineer based in Nairobi with 11 years of experience delivering full-stack and IoT solutions, particularly in agri-tech and data-driven products. At Pula he combines product ownership, technical leadership and Scrum mastery to ship geospatial and ML-backed crop yield tools, stabilize AWS infrastructure, and mentor junior engineers. He has a strong track record of improving developer workflows—introducing Docker, structured PRs, SOPs—and building rapid prototypes (including WhatsApp-based payment flows) to validate new business ideas. Previously he helped migrate mobile products to React Native and built shopping-list e-commerce features at Wellio, and led network-monitoring and analytics work at BRCK to keep large-scale deployments reliable. He pairs hands-on coding (React, React Native, Python, Flask/Django) with operational savvy and a knack for turning field data into actionable product improvements.
