Senior🎓
Top SchoolMoses Nandwa is a practical software engineer with over eight years building payment-integrated, cloud-native systems across fintech, e-commerce, lending and ticketing, currently shaping decisioning infrastructure for loan products at Tala. He has deep experience with AWS and Azure architectures, Terraform-driven IaC, and low-latency payment integrations (notably M-Pesa) from roles at Safaricom and Tala. Comfortable in both product and SRE responsibilities, he blends hands-on backend development (PHP, Java, Laravel) with CI/CD and operational reliability to meet SLA-driven environments. Moses has delivered end-to-end platforms—from mobile e-commerce suites to bespoke payment rails—and written reusable libraries that reduced integration time for teams. A former adjunct lecturer and frequent freelancer, he brings both mentorship and cross-organizational proposal/design experience to complex, regulated payments problems. Based in Nairobi, he pairs fast learning with a pragmatic focus on production-quality, maintainable solutions.
