“I had the pleasure of working with Moses, his ability to quickly grasp complex concepts, break them down into simple, understandable ideas, and communicate them clearly made him an invaluable asset to the team. Moses was, and still is, the go-to person when it comes to tackling challenging technical problems. Beyond his technical and problem solving skills, Moses brings an energy and passion that elevates the entire team. He has a natural way of encouraging those around him and bringing out the best in the people he collaborates with. I highly recommend Moses to any team looking to hire a lead or senior engineer who combines strong technical expertise with excellent leadership and collaboration skills.”

“I’ve worked with Moses since the beginning of our careers at Andela, and he has consistently distinguished himself as an engineer who takes ownership and delivers high-quality work on mission-critical systems. He has been a key contributor to Microsoft Authenticator, Microsoft Company Portal, and the authentication libraries that power them, products where security, reliability, and performance are non-negotiable and impact millions of users worldwide. Moses ramps up quickly in complex domains, improves testing and observability, and drives issues to resolution even when they span multiple teams and systems. Beyond his technical strength, he communicates clearly, works independently, and consistently raises the engineering bar for those around him. I would confidently recommend him for any team building secure, high-scale systems.”

“I worked with, and under Moses Gitau at Andela. I have been yearning to get the same opportunity one more time given how profoundly the encounter changed my thought process. He embodies exceptional leadership, technical depth, and Da Vinci-like engineering mindset. I watched him once obsess over the physics of a hover effect for a card component. I watched him solve ALL linting, test and type errors and warnings on the build because he couldn't stand the red and orange (wanted green). He mentored me and others into always focusing on the fundamentals and trying to solve the problem with what you know first before learning something new. He is a polyglot with instinctive Renaissance-like ability to merge art, mathematics, and code into one of a kind projects. Just ask him what he has built outside of work if you want the gems. True leader!”

“I have known Moses since our time at JKUAT, and he is easily one of the most brilliant minds I have encountered. Even as students, he was several steps ahead, often teaching the rest of us how to code and simplifying complex concepts with remarkable clarity. At Andela, he naturally became a de facto leader, mentoring engineers including seniors and consistently raising the technical bar. Moses combines deep technical expertise with strong systems thinking and an instinct for clean, scalable design. He does not just build great software, he elevates the entire team. I recommend him without reservation.”

“Moses Gitau is, to put it simply, a brilliant Software Engineer. Having worked with him, I can confidently speak for his ability to quickly grasp complex technical concepts and make non-trivial connections, grounded in his deep understanding of core Computer Science principles. This combination makes him an exceptional Software Architect and Engineer. Beyond his technical skill, Moses is a true embodiment of a technological leader, whose impact and influence are impossible to ignore.”

“The best. He knows his craft, he knows how to get his deliverables. Great mentor when it comes to bringing out the best in someone. Especially his juniors.”
