Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Oduor is an experienced backend engineer and IT leader with over a decade of hands-on experience building scalable, secure Django applications and operating production Linux environments. Currently Head of IT at the Football Kenya Federation and Community Manager at SpaceYaTech, he combines systems-level expertise—Unix process management, container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes, and cloud deployments on AWS/GCP—with a strong track record in CI/CD and performance tuning. He champions open-source development, having initiated and managed community projects, mentored contributors through Django Labs, and sustained freelance and consultancy roles that bridge technical delivery and stakeholder coordination. James’s approach is shaped by a community-first Ubuntu ethos, which informs both his developer mentoring and his focus on durable, well-documented systems. Not obvious from titles alone: he pairs deep operational instincts with product-minded backend architecture, routinely translating infrastructure optimizations into measurable application performance gains.
