Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Akhenda is an engineering manager and senior full‑stack engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native web and mobile products that scale reliably and compliantly. He pairs TypeScript/React/Expo front‑ends with Node.js microservices on AWS and Terraform, and has a knack for automating developer experience—shipping reusable Turborepo/ESLint starters that cut project spin‑up to minutes. His work has driven measurable business outcomes: faster deployments and near‑zero rollbacks at atlasGO, 4x faster support resolution at Wave Mobile Money, and a GDPR/ISO27001 migration of petabytes with zero downtime that enabled acquisition at teroGO. A hands‑on leader, he mentors juniors into confident contributors, champions DX tooling, and obsessively refines user journeys (he once engineered Fitbit‑grade tracking that lifted DAU 38%). Based in Nairobi, he’s open to senior engineering or short consulting engagements focused on secure scale, mobile excellence, or developer productivity.
