Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Majivu is a Senior Backend Software Engineer based in Nairobi with over a decade of experience building reliable payment and backend systems across startups and large cloud platforms. He has driven platform stability, payment integrations, and performance work at companies like Peach Payments, Zepz, Microsoft, Angaza and Wolt, often tackling tricky edge cases such as split-second duplicate payments and in-flight transaction cache issues. Comfortable in Python and increasingly Rust, he pairs hands-on implementation (APIs, microservices, load testing) with mentoring and knowledge-sharing to ramp teams quickly. Gabriel blends product-focused pragmatism—creating onboarding labs and agentic prototypes—with operational rigor, improving observability and cost efficiency through service migrations and tooling. Known as a “curious tinkerer,” he repeatedly surfaces process and architectural improvements rather than just shipping features.
