Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacinta Gichuhi is a Technical Project Manager and seasoned backend engineer with nine years’ experience building scalable, health-focused systems across Kenya. She combines deep Java/Spring and Node.js expertise with microservices, Kafka/RabbitMQ messaging, Docker deployments and ORM-backed data design to deliver production-grade EMR and HIE solutions. Her work has driven national-scale platforms—helping KenyaEMR reach 2,000+ facilities—and she has led FHIR-based integration, multi-tenancy and migration efforts that modernized legacy monoliths into modular architectures. Equally comfortable in code and in design sessions, she blends hands-on implementation with architecture, monitoring and data-quality practices (Prometheus/Grafana). Based in Nairobi, she’s an aspiring solution architect who quietly bridges open-source communities (OpenMRS/OpenHIM) with government and donor programs to turn clinical requirements into reliable, auditable software.
