Senior🎓
Top SchoolWahome Macharia is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years building scalable, cloud-native systems across fintech and search at companies like JUMO, Microsoft, Xapo Bank and GetYourGuide. He’s polyglot (Python, Java, Kotlin, React) and experienced in microservices, event-driven design, AWS runtimes (EKS/ECS/EB/serverless), Docker, Terraform, CI/CD and observability. At Microsoft he contributed to M365’s high-throughput search and led a small team to implement responsible AI safeguards; at JUMO he architected event-driven services and led a multi-region migration to standardized infra. An agilist and champion of quality, he promotes contract-first development, RFC-driven design decisions, and embedding QA across teams rather than siloing it. He pairs a pragmatic engineering mindset with a taste for clean design and a willingness to learn from past mistakes—plus an adventurous streak and a fondness for good humour. Based in Berlin, he’s currently helping realize a full stack for discovery and financial services while completing an MSc in Data Science & AI.
