About

Engineer first, founder always.

Joel Fickson Ngozo

I'm Joel Fickson Ngozo, a senior full-stack engineer based in Berlin with over a decade of experience shipping software. I currently work at CommerceTools, building APIs and enterprise commerce solutions. Before that I worked across fintech, security, and SaaS at companies like ScalingFunds, AKTEK, and CollabWorks - from London to San Francisco.

Outside of my engineering work, I build ventures. Sekuire is my current focus - runtime control infrastructure for AI agents. I also founded Elior Health Labs (digital healthcare) and Vwaza Multimedia (music streaming for African artists).

I'm from Malawi and studied computer science at the University of Malawi. My career has taken me through California, London, and now Berlin. I thrive on solving complex problems and learning new technologies - from Rust and Go to Kubernetes and blockchain.

When I'm not shipping code, I'm contributing to open source, writing about engineering, or exploring the next thing that catches my curiosity.
