About

Hi there! I’m Daniel Musau, a software engineer passionate about building scalable, reliable, and impactful backend systems. I thrive on solving complex challenges and delivering solutions that drive meaningful results.


Currently, I’m a Backend Engineer at OnSpace Technologies, where I design and maintain high-performance backend systems. I work with GraphQL and REST APIs, optimize databases, and apply test-driven development to ensure 99.99% service availability. Beyond coding, I contribute to brainstorming sessions, mentor colleagues, and foster a collaborative engineering culture. I’m always seeking ways to improve—whether refining system architecture or expanding my technical expertise.


Outside of work, I’ve contributed to projects like Global Spark, where I revamped websites and digital platforms to enhance user engagement. Whether it’s designing robust APIs, optimizing databases, or architecting backend infrastructures, I’m passionate about building systems that are both powerful and elegant.


When I’m not coding, you’ll find me watching films, reading books, or hanging out with friends. Let’s connect and build something amazing!
