Katy Aristote

I’m a Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering technology solutions, managing cross-sector digital initiatives, and mentoring teams across Africa. I’m known for leading multi-stakeholder programs, producing clear technical documentation, and driving strategic digitalization work with both public and private sector partners.

In my current role, I’m leading a team on the development of a data engineering dashboard to provide comprehensive financial historical data, automating most ingestion. I manage product roadmaps, sprint planning, release management, and cross-functional Agile squads, while tracking delivery KPIs and continuously improving engineering productivity.

Previously, I led development of an AWS cost analytics dashboard using Python and Next.js, introduced automated testing frameworks to reach 90% test coverage, and established DevSecOps practices to integrate security testing into development workflows. I’ve also built cross-platform apps with React Native and Firebase, and mentored 200+ emerging African developers through the WeCode Program, helping increase women’s participation in digital skills programs.
