Diagnose. Build. Harden. Ship.

Healthcare IT systems that work in the real world

I help teams ship dependable systems—modernizing legacy platforms, building new apps from scratch, and making existing market tools work through integration, automation, and operational hardening.

Build Ship working improvements
Harden Production-ready ops
Iterate Continuous improvement

Why work with me

Clear communication, measurable progress, and a strong bias toward shipping production-ready outcomes.

01

Direct Access, No Handoffs

You work directly with the person doing the work. No account managers, no telephone game, no context lost in translation.

02

Execution, Not Just Strategy

I don't just produce recommendations and disappear. I ship working code, configure production systems, and validate results with evidence.

03

Outcomes Over Hours

Focused investment in solving your actual problem—not padding timelines or generating busywork. Clear deliverables, measurable wins.

04

Built for Regulated Environments

15+ years in healthcare IT means I understand compliance constraints, change control, and why "move fast and break things" doesn't work here.

Featured Case Study Razuna Platform Modernization Open BlueDragon → Lucee 7 on Java 25/Tomcat 11. 92% query reduction, BCrypt security upgrade, OpenAPI documentation, and production-ready ops tooling.

Primary Focus

Healthcare IT, hospital systems, and regulated environments where uptime, auditability, and data integrity are non-negotiable. Experience includes multi-facility deployments, patient-facing systems, and infrastructure that can't afford unplanned downtime.

What I deliver

Engineering

Greenfield Build Design and implement a clean, supportable app from scratch: core workflows, data model, APIs, and deployment path.
Legacy Modernization Baseline runtime behavior, pick highest-value fixes, land production-ready improvements. Typically 1–2 weeks to first wins.

Data & Performance

Database Triage Identify hot paths, eliminate N+1 patterns, tune indexes against real query telemetry. Validate with measurable wins.
API Readiness OpenAPI docs, consistent auth, integration patterns, and event-driven foundations that make APIs usable for real teams.

Operations

Production Hardening Logging, retention, safer admin workflows, scheduled maintenance, and runbooks that reduce incidents and surprises.
Observability Monitoring, alerting, and log aggregation using Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana, and Graylog. See the case study.

Strategy

Build vs Buy Analysis Evaluate market tools against real requirements, run fit-gap analysis, implement the winning approach with sane defaults.
Technical Due Diligence Assess existing systems for risk, technical debt, and modernization paths before acquisition or major investment.

Certifications

Vendor training tied to real deployments—especially where networks are locked down and uptime is non-negotiable.

Common questions

What's your primary tech stack?

Languages: C#, C++, Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, CFML. Database: SQL Server. Virtualization: Hyper-V and XCP-ng. Monitoring/Alerting: Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana, and Graylog—see the observability platform case study for implementation details. Platforms: Pexip (self-hosted video) and LG Pro:Centric.

Remote or on-site?

Primarily remote. For discovery phases or complex deployments, on-site work in the Midwest/East Coast is possible with advance planning.

Do you provide ongoing support and maintenance?

Yes—after an initial engagement, I can continue with scheduled maintenance, monitoring, and incremental improvements. Many clients prefer a retainer for predictable support.
