About Me

Learn more about my background, skills, and experience.

Emmanuel W. Wachira

Hi, I am Emmanuel W. Wachira

I am a Full-Stack Developer and DevOps engineer building production-grade SaaS platforms at WaruTech. With a background in field operations at KOKO Networks and formal training from Moringa School, I bring both technical depth and real-world deployment experience.

I recently shipped two full-scale platforms: LogiFlow — a multi-tenant logistics SaaS built with Django and Next.js — and FlixVideo — an AI-powered streaming and movie discovery platform built with Node.js and Next.js. Both are in production with CI/CD pipelines, Prometheus + Grafana monitoring, and multi-gateway payment integrations (Stripe, M-Pesa, crypto).

I hold AWS Cloud Architecting and Cloud Foundations certifications, a Google Project Management Certificate, and a DevOps certification from the Nairobi DevOps Community. I am actively seeking software engineering and project management roles where I can drive impactful products.
