Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy K is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable systems and leading distributed teams across Africa, currently contributing to intelligence and search experiences in Microsoft’s MSAI organization. He blends hands-on engineering (Java/JavaEE, databases, distributed delivery) with people leadership from roles at Andela where he managed partner delivery across multiple African countries. Passionate about using technology to drive transformational change on the continent, he has guided projects from national prepaid electricity systems to enterprise search and ML-driven features. Academically grounded with a Master’s from Carnegie Mellon and a CS/Math degree from Oklahoma Christian, he pairs rigorous technical depth with a knack for clear communication—he describes himself off-hours as a coder, wordsmith and lifelong football amateur. An uncommon strength is his track record of operating at the intersection of product, engineering and client-facing delivery in remote, multicultural teams.
