Lead Application Engineer | Epic healthcare IT

I build systems that turn messy healthcare workflows into reliable, automated, data-driven operations.

Healthcare IT operator with deep Epic perioperative experience, a builder's bias for automation, and a clear trajectory into AI-assisted systems design, analytics, and healthcare data engineering.

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Healthcare IT depth, builder instincts, and a practical AI/data trajectory.

I work where clinical operations, enterprise applications, reporting, and automation all collide. My strongest work is translating ambiguous operational pain into stable system behavior: rules, data flows, configuration patterns, testable logic, and reporting that teams can trust.

My background is rooted in Epic perioperative systems, especially OpTime and Anesthesia. The direction is bigger than Epic analyst work: healthcare systems architecture, AI-assisted workflow design, data quality tooling, and automation that makes high-stakes operations less fragile.

SELECTED WORK

Case-study style examples written to show problem framing, constraints, approach, and impact.

Case Study

Rules-driven clinical data pipeline for analytics

A cleaner path from clinical workflow events to trustworthy analytics consumers.

Problem

Operational reporting depended on fragile interpretations of clinical events, configuration rules, and downstream stakeholder expectations.

Constraints

Healthcare data had to remain explainable, auditable, and aligned with how clinicians actually document inside Epic.

Approach

Modeled the data flow as a pipeline: source events, business rules, validation checks, exception handling, and stakeholder-ready output definitions.

Outcome

Created a stronger blueprint for analytics work that reduces manual reconciliation and makes reporting assumptions explicit.

Case Study

Standardized anesthesia billing configuration

A profile-level configuration effort aimed at reducing variation and billing defects.

Problem

Multiple anesthesia profiles carried inconsistent build patterns, making support harder and increasing the risk of charging variation.

Constraints

The work had to respect operational differences while avoiding one-off logic that would become impossible to maintain.

Approach

Compared profiles, identified repeatable build patterns, documented exceptions, and pushed toward a cleaner standard configuration model.

Outcome

Improved maintainability and gave stakeholders a clearer path for future billing logic changes.

Automated perioperative workflow logic

Rules and review patterns for medical direction and perioperative process reliability.

Problem

Manual review of perioperative logic created friction, inconsistent interpretation, and unnecessary dependency on tribal knowledge.

Constraints

Clinical, billing, and compliance-sensitive logic required careful validation and clear ownership.

Approach

Mapped decision paths, isolated rule conditions, identified repeatable checks, and shaped automation concepts around human-reviewable outputs.

Outcome

Reduced ambiguity around operational logic and created a foundation for safer automation prototypes.

Native batch reporting workflow migration

Moving stakeholder reporting toward reliable native execution instead of fragile manual work.

Problem

Reporting workflows needed to support many stakeholders without depending on repetitive manual execution.

Constraints

Batch output had to remain stable, understandable, and easy for operational consumers to trust.

Approach

Reframed recurring reports as scheduled, native batch processes with clearer ownership, timing, and validation expectations.

Outcome

Improved repeatability and made the reporting workflow easier to scale across consumers.

Surgeon Ready for OR Time attribution

Operational analytics focused on attribution, readiness, and process bottlenecks.

Problem

OR readiness metrics only help when the data can answer who, what, when, and why without starting a blame game.

Constraints

Analytics needed to be fair, clinically credible, and sensitive to real perioperative workflow complexity.

Approach

Explored attribution logic, event timing, readiness definitions, and operational views that make bottlenecks visible.

Outcome

A stronger analytic frame for improving perioperative throughput and conversation quality.

Credentialing and privilege audit automation concept

A prototype direction for reducing manual credentialing audit load.

Problem

Privilege reviews are often detail-heavy, repetitive, and easy to slow down when data lives across systems.

Constraints

Any automation must preserve reviewability, traceability, and human approval for sensitive provider data.

Approach

Outlined an audit workflow that compares source records, flags mismatches, and produces reviewer-friendly exception lists.

Outcome

Created a pragmatic automation concept for reducing review burden while keeping governance intact.

Provider bio import and Epic SER cleanup

A scraper/import concept for improving provider profile data quality.

Problem

Provider bio and SER-related cleanup work can become repetitive, manual, and vulnerable to inconsistent source formatting.

Constraints

Imported data needs normalization, validation, and clear separation between automated suggestions and approved updates.

Approach

Prototyped a scraper/import pattern with source extraction, field mapping, cleanup rules, and review checkpoints.

Outcome

Established a reusable pattern for data cleanup projects where automation accelerates the work but does not bypass stewardship.
