Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTonny Mutai is a founder and seasoned software leader with 12 years of experience building backend systems, APIs, and SaaS platforms across fintech, media, and marketplace domains. He currently leads KairosWeave in stealth, shaping an Operational Decision Intelligence layer that creates auditable decision trails across distributed tools, while also shipping LineMatch for structured document review in procurement and finance workflows. Previously he led technical teams at Gebeya and finleap, delivering scalable, secure Node.js and TypeScript services and mentoring engineers through platform migrations and CI/CD automation. Tonny combines hands-on implementation—including serverless and Kubernetes deployments—with product and go-to-market strategy, making him comfortable at the intersection of engineering and company building. Based in Nairobi, he brings practical focus: building narrow, repeatable utilities that earn trust through structured outputs rather than broad, unfocused platforms. Quietly exacting, he balances developer-first rigor with attention to operational workflows that reduce real-world friction in payments and procurement.
