Beth Wanjiku
@bethwanjiku1
Full-stack software engineer focused on scalable web platforms, APIs, and automation that boost efficiency and growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack software engineer with over 7 years of developing scalable web platforms, backend APIs, and automation systems across fintech, HR tech, and manufacturing. I translate business needs into technical solutions that reduce manual effort and support growth, while keeping architecture clean and reusable.
Recently at Burn Manufacturing, I’ve been building custom dashboards and modules to manage leads and product lifecycle stages, and developing features that let administrators track production workflows across multiple product lines. Before that, at Kodally IT Hub, I led a leave management system built with Django REST Framework and Vue.js—adopted by 20,000+ employees across 20+ departments—cutting HR workload by 30% and request turnaround time from 3 days to under 1 hour.
I’ve also delivered core banking integration backend APIs for cross-border payments, automated internal processes with Python bots to reduce manual work by 80%, and built customer-facing payment experiences like USSD ordering and mobile payment APIs. I enjoy partnering with stakeholders, integrating third-party APIs, and continuously improving systems through automation and thoughtful engineering.
