Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Kiarie is a Senior Software Developer with 11 years of experience specializing in Ruby and Ruby on Rails, complemented by TypeScript, React, and Angular skills. He combines entrepreneurial grit—from co-founding and scaling an e-commerce startup to $50k annual revenue—with disciplined engineering practices in remote, multicultural teams. At Medic and Microverse he delivered performance improvements, security features, and extensible admissions platforms, shipping well-tested, production-ready solutions that supported critical workflows like digital payments and multi-facility management. Benjamin is language-agnostic in practice but maintains a Rubyist’s sensibility for developer happiness and productivity, often owning end-to-end features from design through deployment. He excels under pressure, communicates candidly to bring focus to complex problems, and has a track record of improving user experience while optimizing for low-end device performance. Based in Nairobi, he pairs academic computer science foundations with hands-on open-source and freelance experience that keeps him "always building."
