Phil Aturo

Full Stack Engineer · DevSecOps · Infrastructure & Geospatial Systems

Building secure platforms, payment infrastructure, developer tools, and intelligent systems.


About

Full Stack Engineer and DevSecOps practitioner based in Kisumu, Kenya. Currently undertaking a software engineering apprenticeship at Zone01 Kisumu, specializing in Go, distributed systems, container orchestration, CI/CD, and secure software delivery.

My background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing shapes how I approach engineering: systems as networks, data as terrain, and security as a foundational concern rather than an afterthought.
