Summary
Steve Obaga is a Co-Founder and software engineer with 8 years of experience building full-stack web applications across startups in Kenya. He combines Python back-ends (Flask, Django) and JavaScript front-ends (Angular, React) with Node.js services and relational and NoSQL databases to deliver RESTful, MVC-designed systems. At Wasoko, Andela and Tulaa he focused on performance, UX improvements, notifications and map integrations, evidence of both product-facing and platform-level impact. Comfortable with TDD (Mocha, Jest, PyTest) and CI tooling, he brings disciplined engineering practices to early-stage ventures. His background in digital design and prior graphic design work informs a pragmatic eye for UX and frontend polish that many backend-focused engineers lack. Based in Nairobi, he blends entrepreneurial drive with hands-on coding and operational rigor.
