Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Ndikuwera is a seasoned Linux systems and DevOps leader with over 20 years of experience building scalable, cost-effective infrastructure and web systems across East Africa. As Director at Soft Edge and DevOps Technical Lead for Future Dynamics Innovations, he has driven large migrations to open source (Linux, SQUID, SIEM), implemented microservices and Docker Swarm deployments, and scaled payment and SMS processing to millions of transactions. His work has delivered measurable outcomes—improving UN reporting and visibility by 50%, boosting shareholder registration fivefold at the Uganda Securities Exchange, and cutting infrastructure costs through consolidation and IaaS optimization. A hands-on engineer and mentor, he trains junior developers and leads cross-border SaaS rollouts while championing open source tooling and self-hosted automation. Outside work he’s equally practical—often cooking with his two sons or debating Star Wars over coffee—reflecting a pragmatic, people-centered approach to technology and leadership.
