About Gideon Ogega

Hands-on Engineering Manager and Software Architect leading teams building mission-critical SaaS products across web, API, mobile, and automation platforms.I focus on delivering robust, scalable systems while balancing business constraints and time-to-market. I provide technical leadership, architectural direction, and execution oversight, working closely with product, delivery, and executive stakeholders to turn roadmaps into reliable, maintainable software in production.Technically, my background spans:• Backend & web.NET.NET Core, C#, Java, Blazor, MVC, Web API, React, Angular• Data: SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Neo4J, EF/EF Core, Dapper• Cloud & infra: Azure (K8s, Functions, Web Apps, Service Bus, Storage, Databricks), AWS (EC2, SQS, S3, Lambda), messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ), Docker, CI/CD• Quality & tooling: xUnit/NUnit, Moq, Git, GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps, AI-assisted development (Copilot, Sourcegraph/Cody, OpenAI)In my current role I lead and grow distributed engineering teams, drive architectural decisions, mentor engineers, manage technical escalations, and own suites of applications deployed across on-prem, customer-hosted, and cloud environments. I stay hands-on through code reviews, estimates, proofs of concept, and continuous improvement of delivery and operational practices.Alongside my full-time role, I take on a small amount of part-time work in architecture and performance consulting. Typical engagements include:• Architecture & codebase reviews• Performance and scalability triage for APIs, background jobs, and data stores• Light “fractional architect” support for teams that need senior guidance but not a full-time architectIf your system has grown faster than your architecture, you’re fighting recurring performance issues, or you lack clear visibility into production behavior, I can help you move from symptoms to a concrete, prioritized plan.
