Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarimou Lawani is a founder and senior software engineer with 10+ years building high-performance, cloud-native systems across finance, media and government sectors. He combines deep Java/Scala expertise with reactive, functional and microservices architectures, and hands-on DevOps skills using Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm and CI/CD to deliver resilient platforms at scale. His work ranges from performance engineering for Mastercard’s fast payments to transforming e-commerce and OTT platforms, and most recently launching a multi-territorial property marketplace for West Africa. Comfortable across the stack—back-end services, messaging, observability and front-end Ionic/Angular—he bridges product and platform needs while keeping a focus on test automation and performance. Based in Maidstone, UK, he brings both consultancy experience in regulated public-sector projects and the entrepreneurial drive to capture new markets. Less obvious: he blends academic rigor from an MSc in Computer Science with practical pattern-driven engineering (Tagless Final, Akka, Vert.x) to solve latency- and scale-sensitive problems.
