About

I’m Shadrack Mutethia, a full-stack software engineer based in Nairobi with 3+ years of experience building scalable web applications using MERN/PERN and modern JavaScript frameworks. I currently work on FHIR-native healthcare systems at Tiberbu Healthnet Limited, designing FHIR-compliant APIs and resources and bridging clinical workflows into secure, standards-based software that supports healthcare interoperability.

I’ve also delivered remote freelance projects for international clients, improving performance and reliability through database optimization, caching, and cloud-native deployments on AWS and Azure. I enjoy building maintainable RESTful APIs and responsive frontends, using tools like Docker/Kubernetes and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) to keep systems fast and highly available.
