About Me

I'm Ochieng' Olanga, a software engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya. Over the years my experience in this field has been nurtured through passion and training. I learnt this craft by designing, developing, deploying, testing and maintaining software across a wide variety of platforms be it on-premise or the cloud; being involved in several projects straight from inception stage through to completion. As a professional, I have a strong liking for Java, Scala and Golang with a strong incline towards distributed reactive architecture.

I take pride in developing applications consistent with high quality standards, maintanable, reliable and deliver value.

Whether you’re a start-up, business or individual considering a new web application, an established business exploring ways to optimise operations using technology, or a hiring company looking for an engineer with my skill, don’t hesitate to contact me at ochiengolanga@gmail.com
