Simon Wekesa
Backend Engineer / Embedded Systems / Cybersecurity
Building systems that work in the real world — from IoT firmware on constrained microcontrollers to cloud-deployed APIs and ML-driven pipelines. Electronics & Computer Engineering graduate with hands-on experience shipping full-stack platforms, embedded prototypes, and security lab work.
Engineering Profile
Systems thinker. Backend pragmatist. Builder of things that run in the real world.
Electronics and Computer Engineering graduate operating across backend infrastructure, embedded hardware, and cybersecurity. I build things that work at scale and under constraint — not just systems that demo well.
Hands-on experience shipping production systems — from real-time WebRTC communication platforms and cloud-deployed Django APIs to IoT firmware on ESP32 microcontrollers and a structured penetration testing lab with SIEM monitoring. Comfortable at every layer of the stack.
I care about the fundamentals: clean data flows, hardware-software integration, secure-by-design architecture, and systems that behave correctly when things go wrong. Not just on a deadline, but at 3am on a Tuesday.
Deepening expertise in cybersecurity assurance, penetration testings, software development and electronic skills. Actively developing systems across multiple domains including EdPal, an intelligent education platform; NexCore, an AI-driven trading system with backtesting and paper trading; a real-time mediasoup-based communication system; CampusVibes, a social and LMS campus platform; and AetherNet, a Rust-based distributed communication system. Pursuing cybersecurity certifications while actively seeking work, collaborations, and engineering opportunities across software, embedded, and security domains.
