Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Atukunda is a seasoned software development lead with over two decades of engineering experience and a strong foundation in Electrical Engineering, now leading development at MYDAWA from Paisley, Scotland. He has steered teams across healthcare, nonprofits, and startups—most recently as Senior Software Lead at Rocket Health Africa—blending hands-on coding in Python, C/C++, Perl and SQL with strategic architecture and DevOps (AWS, Docker, Ansible) expertise. His specialty is high-performance relational database design and large-data migrations, drawing on an MSc in Enterprise Systems and practical DBA experience with PostgreSQL and MySQL. Martin pairs low-level programming chops with infrastructure design, enabling efficient client/server systems and scalable data platforms. He has a long track record of mentoring and delivery-focused leadership, often bridging product, ops and DB provider relationships to accelerate rollout. Less obvious: his career started in university systems and hardware troubleshooting, which gives him an unusually pragmatic perspective on operational resilience and user-facing reliability.
