Hi, I’m Victor Kibuthi Mwangi, a software engineer currently based in Munich, Germany. Over the last several years I’ve built and scaled software across Africa and Europe, spanning backend services, frontend applications, and cloud-native architectures for manufacturing, logistics, and public-sector projects. I thrive on turning complex problems into robust, maintainable systems and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to ship value-driven software. When I’m not coding, I enjoy learning new technologies and mentoring colleagues to help teams grow their capabilities.
