Erick Mwangi (Swiz)
Co-Founder & CTO @ TerraSept Solutions | B.Sc Software Engineering (Kisii University)
I am a software engineer, systems architect, and technology founder based in Kisii and Nairobi, Kenya. As Co-Founder & CTO of TerraSept Solutions, I build digital products designed to operate reliably in low-resource environments across East Africa.
My work spans agricultural AI intelligence (KilimoIQ, serving 5,000+ farmers), electronic health record interoperability (TotoAfya Digital, compliant with HL7 FHIR & Kenya Digital Health Act 2023), and trustworthy diagnostic AI research (ETHOS Framework).
I believe great software is not defined by flashy animations or artificial complexity, but by its operational resilience, statutory compliance, and ability to improve lives at the frontline.
