Summary
Mlanawo Mbechezi is a software architect and founder with 14 years of experience designing resilient, scalable SaaS and high-traffic platforms from Paris. He builds developer-facing PaaS tooling—founder of Kemeter, an orchestration platform inspired by cloud providers, and Lugha, an AI-driven conversational language learning SaaS—while guiding teams on product structuring, quality and dev/infra workflows. Technically versatile, he moves between PHP/Symfony backends, Rust systems programming, React/Svelte frontends and bespoke orchestration and reverse-proxy solutions (Ring, Sōzune). His work blends product vision with hands-on implementation of Docker-based infrastructure, observability and distributed logging, often opting for simpler, maintainable alternatives to heavyweight tooling. As a long-time mentor and senior engineer across startups and retail tech, he’s comfortable shifting between strategic architecture and code-level tradeoffs. Notably, he authors in-house orchestration components that prioritize developer experience over ops complexity.
