-Converted client from AngularJS 1.4 to Angular 16-Converted multiple APIs from .NET framework 4.5 to .NET7-Refactored and added testing for complex business logic lifted out of database and into APIs for improved performance and reliability-Member of the code standards committee dedicated to documenting and implementing a cleaner code base-Championed and led the creation of new APIs that utilize the CQRS pattern instead of a patternless monolith.

Seattle, Washington, United States

Designing and extending APIs (.NET framework/.NET Core and SQL) for consumption by an Angular front-end.• Domain of work is centered around improving healthcare outcomes related primarily to ongoing kidney care and at-risk patient populations.

Tupelo, Ms

•Managed and directed 42 employees with 8 of them being professional and 24 technical. •Reduced lead time by 20% by managing expectations towards deadlines, replacing underperforming personnel, and directly training replacements on new systems. •Increased pharmacist coverage by 13% by devising a new work schedule that more effectively spans higher periods of activity.•Worked with vendors to decrease costs of supplies by 18%, and created a predictable timetable based on usage for reordering smaller amounts. •Updated company procedural policies to comply with updated FDA regulations (USP795/797/800).•Developed and monitored clinical programs and harm reduction strategies like antipsychotic gradual dose reductions, antibiotic stewardship, and morphine equivalent conversions at 20 locations across 3 states. •Reformed medication cycle processes at skilled nursing facilities with high turnover by directly training care providers on-site, working with facility leadership to understand their specific challenges, and developing educational materials to reinforce the changes. As a result, there were zero pharmacy related J-tags.

Tupelo, Ms

Responsible for a variety of line roles in the dispensing process, including but not limited to: skilled nursing order entry, pain management and narcotic stewardship, and physical product verification.While in these roles, effective cost-containment from both a drug product selection and skilled nursing home compliance perspective was key to assisting executive level employees achieve their goals. Appropriate therapeutic substitutions were sought whenever possible, so long as the time delay in communication with the provider did not compromise delivery time of the medications to the patient.

Successfully synthesized, purified, and identified an organic compound found via in silico screening to have CB-2 receptor activity. Results were delivered on schedule. Presented and defended findings before a panel of doctoral faculty showcasing the utilization of constrained resources, cost-containment, and retrosynthesis modification. Developed proficiencies with ChemDraw and SciFinder software in the process of creating new approaches to execute the proposed retrosynthesis. Compounds and reactions were monitored at each stage using learned techniques like thin layer chromatography (TLC), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Once the synthesis route was established, reactions were also successfully and safely scaled up to provide material for other investigations.

Entrusted with managing a lab environment for 48 students to perform physics experiments that broaden their understanding of concepts and behaviors learned in lecture. Topics include electricity, light, and magnetism.

Accountable for leading students through problematic material, and helping them apply theory from lecture with the goal of helping them achieve higher grades on exams.
