Elmus Wangudi here. I engineer production-ready backend systems, craft clean web applications, and build automation tools that bridge digital systems with physical infrastructure.

About Me

I am a Systems Engineer and Software Developer with a background in Telecommunications and Information Engineering. I specialize in backend development with Python and FastAPI, full-stack applications using Next.js, and data-focused solutions built on PostgreSQL.

I build systems that are reliable, efficient, and grounded in real engineering principles. This includes everything from software and automation to hands-on work with networking, solar power systems, and security infrastructure.

In 2022, I co-founded Invata Engineering. Here we deliver sustainable power systems alongside modern software solutions. My approach always prioritizes scalability, integration, performance, and durability.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exploring networks, watching tech documentaries, and working in the Linux terminal.
