Top SchoolDerrick Beining is a Principal Software Engineer with nine years of experience designing and shipping full-stack web and mobile products, currently leading platform work at Well. He excels at UX-focused engineering within small cross-functional teams and champions quality through CI/CD, automated QA, code review, and pair programming. Technically versatile, Derrick blends statically-typed and functional approaches—TypeScript, Elm, Elixir, and Haskell—to make erroneous states unrepresentable and to harden long-lived codebases.
