Who

I'm a forward deployed software engineer in healthcare.

How

I work directly with the people who use what I build.

  1. Understand the problem
  2. Scope and design
  3. Build
  4. Roll out
  5. Train
  6. Support in production

What it taught me

“Working this closely with users has been the hardest and most rewarding part of the job, and where I've learned the most.”
