Senior🎓
Top SchoolKipchirchir Cheroigin is a data engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building scalable geospatial solutions, ETL pipelines, and cloud infrastructure from Nairobi. He combines deep GIS expertise—developing QGIS plugins and ArcGIS tools—with strong data engineering skills in Python, R, DuckDB, and xMart to automate complex workflows and enable real-time spatial decision-making. Comfortable across Azure and AWS, he uses Terraform, Docker, Helm and CI/CD practices to deliver reliable, production-grade systems and Django REST APIs with role-based security. At WHO and previously Ona Data he translated field data from ODK/Ona/Kobo/DHIS into actionable analytics and BI reports, cutting manual effort and improving data accessibility. Known for bridging the gap between spatial analysis and engineering, he often embeds UI tooling (PyQT, Streamlit) to make geospatial insights immediately usable for non-technical stakeholders.
