Senior🎓
Top SchoolNairoua Salaton is a Lead Software Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in backend systems built with Golang, Python, GraphQL and SQL, and practical DevOps on GCP. She has led teams and delivered cloud migrations—most notably moving microservices from Cloud Run to Kubernetes, cutting cloud costs by 55% while improving observability with OpenTelemetry and Jaeger. Comfortable across the full backend lifecycle, she builds CI/CD pipelines, writes thorough unit/integration tests, and drives code and design reviews to maintain high quality. Based in Nairobi, she combines hands-on development with technical leadership, mentoring a team of backend engineers and coordinating project delivery via Jira. Not obvious from titles alone, she pairs cost-conscious infrastructure work with real-time tracing to rapidly diagnose performance issues in distributed systems. Always curious, she actively seeks new skills to broaden her engineering footprint.
