Summary
Mwangi Derick is a pragmatic software engineer and Scrum Master with 9 years of hands-on experience building and leading product teams at Health-E-Net, where he progressed from junior developer to lead roles driving backend services, Linux server ops, and production deployments. He blends full-stack JavaScript expertise (vanilla JS, Angular, Next.js, Vue, Node, Nest) with solid backend and database skills (Postgres, PouchDB/CouchDB) and a history of shipping healthcare digitization projects including computer vision for medical records. As Product Development Lead he translated clinical feedback into working features, trained frontline nurses, and guided a distributed team through iterations—an indicator of his strength in user-centered delivery and ops-aware engineering. Now serving as Scrum Master, he pairs hands-on coding instincts with Agile facilitation to keep teams focused and shipping. Colleagues know him as a detail-oriented, lead-by-example developer who’s comfortable with server configuration (Nginx), Linux monitoring, and mentoring junior engineers. Outside of product work he frames programming as a calling, which helps explain his steady progression into technical leadership in the health-tech space.
