Summary
Experienced Healthcare IT Manager and Full-Stack Developer with over 22 years of success in designing, building, and maintaining internal business applications. For nearly 17 years at Evergreen Hospice Care, I led the development of custom software that automated billing, streamlined office workflows, ensured HIPAA compliance, and improved reporting accuracy. I specialize in identifying operational inefficiencies and transforming them into scalable digital solutions using VB.NET, C#, SQL Server, and modern web technologies. I actively incorporate AI tools such as ChatGPT to accelerate development, enhance documentation, and boost business productivity. Currently, I continue to support Evergreen Hospice Care as a contractor, providing on-demand maintenance and enhancements. In parallel, I’m preparing to launch a cloud-based SaaS version of an EMR system originally developed as a Windows application—now in use by over 20 chiropractic clinics. I’m passionate about building systems that make complex processes simple, efficient, and scalable.
