I'm a software developer with expertise in Clojure web application development.

In my current and previous roles I have single-handedly delivered multiple projects where I was responsible for all aspects of the application development lifecycle - from requirements gathering and scope analysis; to the delivery of features through multiple rounds of feedback and QA; and finally operational support. I have also participated in the design, development, and operations of enterprise-wide, mission-critical projects as part of a team.

To summarize, I'm a developer that knows how to wear many hats, and has a proven track record of writing high-quality, clean, maintainable code.

Experience

University Health Network | Technical Specialist | Sep 2016 - Aug 2021

• Designed and developed custom web applications for various units across UHN, including:
• A hospital-wide discharge summary tool that seamlessly integrates data from multiple systems, supports complex transactional business rules, and allows for multi-user editing while keeping data synchronized across clients. This cutting-edge technology revolutionized the way healthcare professionals access and share information, contributing to a higher standard of care.
• Inpatient and outpatient medication reconciliation systems that enable healthcare providers to track and review a patient's full medication history - ensuring accurate and comprehensive medication information is communicated consistently across transitions of care and reducing errors such as omissions, duplications, dosing errors, or drug interactions.
• eConsent and survey collection tools for UHN Researchers - streamlining data collection and analysis to support cancer research at the organization.
• An application to track and update the statuses of bodies stored in UHN morgues, allowing for efficient and accurate processing by security, pathologists, coroners, and social workers. By providing real-time updates and tracking, the application helps to minimize errors and delays, ensuring that the appropriate next steps are taken at each stage of processing.
• Provided operational support for roughly twenty applications under my team's portfolio, ensuring that healthcare professionals always had access to the data and tools they needed in order to provide the highest quality of care to patients.
• Hired, trained and supervised co-op students, helping them grow as professionals and find success in their careers.
