Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Shiundu is a founder-led technology executive with 9 years of experience building scalable data and backend systems, currently serving as CEO of SanaaCharts, Kenya’s leading music chart and discovery platform. He combines hands-on engineering chops—Scala, Spark, Kafka, Cassandra and AWS—with product and people leadership, having moved from Founder & CTO to CEO while still overseeing architecture and delivery. Ian has a strong data-science foundation (BSc in Data Science and Business Analytics) and a track record of turning youth creativity into market-ready products and IP awareness across the African music ecosystem. He also partners on Reportbrain to deliver real-time, multilingual big-data insights, reflecting a rare mix of entrepreneurial vision and deep technical execution. Not obvious at first glance: he’s as comfortable shipping core production code and data pipelines as he is setting strategic direction and building engineering teams.
