Top SchoolVictor Preston is a backend engineer based in Nairobi with 3–5 years of hands-on experience building scalable, cloud-native systems and responsive front ends.

Victor has embedded AI/LLM capabilities into production backends and designed orchestration and background processing that reliably handle millions of jobs weekly. He accelerates delivery with GitOps-driven CI/CD and containerized deployments, consistently reducing latency and operational costs through pragmatic migrations from monoliths to microservices.
