About
I’m Duke Nyamongo, a senior full stack engineer based in Nairobi with 7+ years of experience building and modernising cloud-native systems. I specialise in Python (Django, FastAPI) and React, and I enjoy turning complex, legacy code into reliable products with measurable improvements in accuracy, performance, and delivery speed.
Across my work at Safaricom and other engineering teams, I’ve scaffolded and shipped multiple products, optimised high-impact billing and data workflows, and introduced engineering practices that improved code quality and reduced review cycles. I also love mentoring—helping others grow through structured code reviews, clean architecture guidance, and security-first development habits.
