Derrick's interest in technology began at age 12 when his grandfather taught him to rebuild a computer. After earning degrees in computer fields, he struggled to find work for many years until being hired by the credit union he had been a member of for over 20 years. In 2011, he took over the role of portal administrator and realized a passion for programming. In 2013, Derrick started a committee focused on engaging employees to improve quality of life through constructive feedback.
