About Ken Mwangi

Senior Backend Engineer Building Scalable Distributed Systems

I specialize in designing and building high-performance backend systems, cloud-native applications, fintech APIs, AI infrastructure, and distributed architectures using Golang, Python, FastAPI, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, PostgreSQL, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and modern DevOps tooling.

Engineering Journey

Building Systems Designed To Scale

My work focuses on solving complex scalability and infrastructure challenges through backend engineering, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture.

Over the years, I have worked extensively with Golang, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and modern microservices architecture to build reliable systems optimized for performance, security, observability, and scalability.

I am particularly interested in building technology that solves African challenges, including fintech infrastructure, AI systems, data-centric AI platforms, and scalable digital products that can impact millions of users.
