Interface/Software Developer
Current• As an Interface developer at UMC Health System, I am developing new hl7 interfaces through the Cerner integrated tools and language. I also maintain all the existing interfaces processing hl7 traffic in and out of our Cerner EHR system.• All our interfaces utilize custom scripting using the CCL integrated language. Since joining UMC, I have used some of my free time to optimize and modernize all the existing code for every interface.• Developed reporting tools and programs using SQL, CCL, Python, and various other languages to optimize our repetitive processes, improve our error/warning logging, and implement other improvements I identified.• After completing ITIL foundations and agile development training, I have assisted our team in implementing the processes taught in the courses to improve team efficiency and communication.• Managed multiple large projects involving the implementation of Cerner hl7 interfaces.• After a couple months of working at UMC, I was put on a project that was already in progress to integrate another hospital (TTUHSC) into our Cerner registration system, making our EMR system effectively theirs as well. I was originally put on the project to observe but after the Cerner developers said a few requests by TTUHSC were impossible, I created some scripts that did what they were looking for. After that, I ended up taking over the project and turning it around. I completed the full integration through multiple hl7 interfaces and have continued to maintain and upgrade them when needed. I was given the Outstanding Performance award for my department in my first year for my work done on that project as well as many others.• I have also been taking on work for the software development team on the side when needed implementing changes to their websites and applications built using ASP.NET, C#, Blazor and various other languages and frameworks.
