Maina Lynett
@mainalynett
Python backend engineer building secure REST APIs and reliable containerized deployments for production systems.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I build secure Python REST APIs with FastAPI/Django/Flask for Sazara in production—authentication, validation, and business logic that support live POS and inventory workflows. I also keep deployments moving with Docker/Docker Compose and CI/CD, and I investigate production issues using log analysis and database troubleshooting.
Before that, I supported high-volume backend systems at Royal Media Services (RMS), improving deployment consistency and resolving performance bottlenecks tied to interaction tracking and system responsiveness. I’m actively expanding my DevSecOps and reliability toolkit with Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, plus hands-on learning across Kubernetes, K9s, and Infisical for secrets management.
