Full-Stack Software Developer
Epic Systems, March 2021 – Present
I am responsible for building new features and fixing bugs in web applications using full-stack development with C#, Typescript, React, and M.
I design, develop, and release enhancements in healthcare software used to improve the management of patient flow through surgical units. I lead usability discussions with clinical end-users during the design process of new functionality and UI.
My biggest accomplishment in this role was designing and developing a planning tool that is currently used to manage over 120,000 hospital bed assignments per month, and growing.
I work closely with QA specialists to ensure the software is released in a stable state. I document functional and structural changes to instruct testing by QA and other developers.
I’ve built up my knowledge of surgical workflows and processes surrounding the perioperative experience to assist with developing new enhancements and working with the software as a user would. I share this knowledge through internal wikis and have helped newer staff learn the areas.
Epic Systems Corporation, or Epic, is an American privately held healthcare software company. According to the company, hospitals that use its software held medical records of 78% of patients in the United States and over 3% of patients worldwide in 2022.

Software Mentor
FIRST Robotics Competition, August 2017 – June 2021
My responsibilities included teaching students about software development, designing written documentation for robotic systems, organizing programming contributions using version control (Git/GitHub), and participating in SCRUM-like practices such as daily stand-up meetings and project retrospectives.
“The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international high school robotics competition. Each year, teams of high school students, coaches, and mentors work during a six-week period to build robots capable of competing in that year’s game that weigh up to 125 pounds (57 kg). Robots complete tasks such as scoring balls into goals, placing inner tubes onto racks, hanging on bars, and balancing robots on balance beams. The game, along with the required set of tasks, changes annually”
