- I lead the engineering organization that is responsible for developing and supporting a high growth SaaS product called "Access for More Patients (AMP)"- AMP helps to solve specialty medication access and adherence challenges for patients by leveraging an extensive network of providers, pharmacies, and payers and by providing various automated and human assisted services- We scaled the engineering organization to 80 team members in the first 18 months- AMP Product revenue has grown 200-300% Y/Y since launch in 2019- I partner closely with product management, analytics, implementation, account management, operations, and commercialization leadership to grow AMP

- I lead the engineering teams that built and supported our electronic prior authorization (ePA) and Real-time Benefit Check (RTBC) products, through integrations with our payer partners- The RTBC product integrates a growing network of EHRs and payer claims adjudication systems. The product was designed to aggregate, route, and transform a high volume of requests at low latency while optimizing for the best user experience- The ePA product was responsible for collecting, transforming, sending and receiving multipart electronic prior authorizations (ePA) transactions with integrated Payer partners. Each transaction represents a patient’s attempt to obtain medication and requires a high level of data integrity and system reliability- My teams worked with many large Payer clients to integrate our systems in support of the RTBC and ePA products- I helped to lead the stabilization of a rapidly growing software platform by focusing teams on risk and incident management, capacity planning, proactive maintenance and SDLC best practices- I represented CoverMyMeds in healthcare industry standards organizations such as the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) and HL7 through participation in weekly calls and quarterly meetings- I helped to spearhead the reorganization of engineering and product teams to re-align focus on business priorities- I developed and promoted many new leaders through mentoring and coaching activities- Technology and tools included: Ruby, Rails, React, Postgres, git, Docker, Splunk, Sentry, New Relic, Puppet, Jenkins, FHIR
