Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJerry Shikanga is a Senior Data Engineer with 8 years of experience building resilient, event-driven data platforms and microservices across cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure). Currently driving resimulation pipelines for Safe Vehicle Automation at Volvo Cars, he combines deep Python expertise (Flask, Django, Celery) with Kafka/RabbitMQ-based architectures to turn sensor data into production-ready inputs for functional resimulation. Previously he accelerated payments and mobile-money integrations across Africa, led a startup tech team, and migrated legacy systems to modern, asynchronous designs that improved reliability and throughput. Known for mentoring engineers and reducing operational toil through automation, he also brings hands-on DevOps skills (Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins) and a practical understanding of ML tooling like TensorFlow and Pandas. Off the clock he’s a petrol-head, which hints at why automotive data and safety-focused engineering are a natural fit.
