Senior Software Engineer

Careevolution • Nov 2018 - Apr 2025

At CareEvolution, I worked with high autonomy across cross-functional teams including researchers, designers, product, and clinicians to define MVPs, build health tech products, and manage end-to-end development. I was a key contributor to MyDataHelpsUI, an open-source component library used to visualize patient and wearable data in clinical research contexts, and to ViewBuilder, a drag-and-drop interface enabling scalable study development. I also contributed to MyDataHelpsDesigner, the platform for configuring participant engagement and data collection in regulated studies.

In addition to building features, I led efforts to improve code quality and development speed by setting up CI/CD pipelines, test infrastructure, and automating workflows across multiple front-end projects using tools like Jest, Storybook, and GitHub Actions. I also introduced React component usage logging, which gave the team valuable insights for prioritizing UI improvements.

I led small teams through the full development cycle of clinical research studies like PowerMom and helped maintain and extend internal systems. This included building ETL pipelines for health data standards like FHIR, HL7, and QRDA, and adding support for incremental versioning to our internal FHIR server. One of the more creative projects I worked on was an OpenAI-powered chatbot that could generate participant engagement views using components from our MDH UI library.

Senior Software Engineer

Flatiron Health (Prev Altos Solutions) • Oct 2011 - Nov 2018

At Flatiron Health, I was a full stack engineer working on an oncology specific, cloud-based Electronic Health Records product. One of my key contributions to OncoEMR prior to its aquisition by Flatiron was writing a Clinical Quality Measure reporting system, and helping get the product certified for Meaningful Use. This involved learning underlying medical terminologies and the overarching goals of how and why health systems share information.

Post acquisition, I continued to work across the stack with focus on modernizing the staging interface and supporting new and evolving terminologies. I also helped scope projects and led agile team ceremonies like daily stand-ups and sprint planning. Part of my job was refactoring older legacy code into modern, maintainable micro services systems that better supported physician workflows. Beyond coding, I was active in the engineering culture, organizing bootcamps, hackathons, and our annual engineering summit.

Independent Contractor (.NET)

MaximTrak Technologies • Oct 2010 - May 2011

In this contract role, I worked closely with the engineering team to design and enhance web based applications and services for Automotive F&I software using a combination of ASP.NET (VB and C#), AJAX, JQuery, and SQL. This included working closely with in house staff, and external vendors in translating user needs into technical designs.
