Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStan Gatimu is a Principal Software Engineer based in Nairobi with 27 years of experience building end-to-end web applications across JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL/NoSQL, REST and GraphQL, and occasional Rust explorations. He combines hands-on full-stack delivery with team leadership—having led cross-functional engineers to build B2B multi-vendor marketplaces, Shopify custom checkout integrations, and a drag-and-drop merchandising tool. His background spans startups and enterprise contexts where he’s driven product clarity, test-driven resilience (notably lifting coverage to ~85% in past roles), and automated data onboarding to accelerate delivery. Comfortable across UX-focused frontend work (including desktop CAD integrations with Tauri and ReactFlow) and backend services, he excels at translating ambiguous requirements into pragmatic, production-ready systems. Colleagues value his blend of technical depth and mentorship—he routinely formalizes acceptance criteria and processes to help junior engineers ship faster.
