• Developed secure and scalable REST APIs and background processing pipelines to automate core business logic, including billing task generation, system alerts, and recurring data updates.
• Engineered the automated creation of compliant billing forms such as CMS-1500 and 837P EDI files, eliminating redundant manual workflows and reducing claim submission errors.
• Integrated seamlessly with external vendors and healthcare systems through SFTP pipelines and RESTful APIs, enabling real-time data exchange with EHR platforms, laboratories, and billing processors.
• Implemented robust role-based access controls, session security, and data encryption mechanisms, ensuring compliance with all relevant HIPAA privacy and security standards.
• Delivered custom analytics dashboards and advanced reporting tools for billing, revenue, task flow, and team performance — with PDF and Excel export options built in to support audit trails and business intelligence efforts.
• Tuned system performance by optimizing SQL queries, designing efficient database schemas, and batching scheduled jobs to handle large patient volumes and time-sensitive workflows.
• Supported day-to-day operations across functional teams with purpose-built tools:
  Clinical staff for managing patient care, documentation, and compliance
  Order processing teams for logistics coordination and task fulfillment
  Billing and AR teams for insurance claims, revenue cycle management, and payment tracking
