Summary
Patrick Waweru is a platform-focused Staff-level software engineer with eight years of experience building reliable, scalable systems that have taken products from MVP to production handling millions of transactions. He blends full-stack development, infrastructure automation, and system design—working across web, mobile, backend, and cloud—to create shared platform primitives and company-wide standards that boost developer velocity. As an early engineer at MoPhones he designed platform abstractions and drove architecture choices that balanced scalability, cost, and speed, while advising across infra, backend, and mobile domains. He has a proven track record in startups and distributed teams (Andela, TalkSay, Kotani Pay) and enjoys mentoring engineers and simplifying complexity into high-leverage solutions. Skilled in TypeScript, Node.js, React/React Native, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS and emerging Web3 patterns, he pairs an entrepreneurial mindset with a disciplined “clean code” ethos. Based in Nairobi, he’s open to remote/hybrid roles and often seeks opportunities that let him codify best practices into reusable platforms.
