Backend-focused engineer building scalable, production-grade systems in regulated and operationally complex environments.
- 🌍 Based in Kenya
- 🖥️ Portfolio: This Kenyan Dev
- ✉️ Contact: somet@kipchilat.com
- 🧠 Currently learning Spring Boot
I design and build structured, API-first platforms with a strong focus on:
- RESTful services
- Domain-driven data modeling
- JWT-based authentication
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Auditability and soft-delete patterns
- Clean CRUD + filtering/pagination standards
- Integration-ready architectures
I optimize for durability, clarity, and long-term maintainability over shortcuts.
Backend
- Java
- .NET
- SQL (complex relational schemas)
- JWT Authentication
- REST APIs
Architecture
- Service-layer separation
- Structured permission models
- Business-rule encapsulation
- Performance-aware query design
- Operational logging and traceability
- Structure before speed
- Clarity before abstraction
- Business alignment before feature growth
- Systems that scale beyond the original team
Experience shaped by engineering cultures at Google and Microsoft—bringing enterprise-grade thinking into emerging market platforms.
