Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles Waweru is an open source-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience and a strong backend specialty in Go and Python, now building in Lowell, Massachusetts. He has a track record of reducing technical debt and costs—driving a 60% maintainability improvement and implementing a multi-tenant architecture that cut expenses by 70%—while accelerating time-to-market through CI/CD and domain-driven microservices. At Savannah Informatics he combined architecture, Goroutine-based async patterns and exponential back-off strategies to secure sensitive data workflows, and at Andela he sped product delivery and hiring processes through automation and targeted feedback loops. Comfortable across Google Cloud, PostgreSQL and Linux, he pairs pragmatic engineering with hands-on mentorship (including Rails Girls Kenya) and continuous learning through applied Golang projects. Colleagues describe him as a builder who turns refactors and proofs-of-concept into measurable business outcomes.
