Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJamal Khan is a Nairobi-based software engineer and entrepreneur with 15 years of experience building trading systems, fintech products and blockchain-enabled marketplaces. An Imperial College MEng in Computing graduate, he spent six years as a senior engineer at Bloomberg working on trading infrastructure before moving into product and blockchain work at Cellulant and co-founding Pesawise to connect payments, businesses and digital financial services across Africa. He combines low-level systems experience in Java, C/C++ and Python with web stacks (Node.js, Ruby, JavaScript) and deep domain knowledge in equities, derivatives and payments. As Head of Product for Agrikore he bridged technical design and stakeholder ecosystems across agriculture, finance and development partners—an uncommon mix that informs his product-led engineering approach. Jamal is equally comfortable architecting secure, high-performance backend systems and shaping go-to-market strategies for tech-enabled financial products.
