• Maintained over 70 Linux operational database and distributed computing servers as the primary systems administrator of three healthcare organizations, including leading US hospital Mayo Clinic
• Wrote a data analysis python and SQL script that completely overhauled the memory sizing strategy for Epic’s GT.M platform systems, eliminating a daily 5 minute production outage
• Led cross-team project to implement load balancers for LDAP across all of Epic Hosting customers to address a bug that could add 10 seconds of lag per user login and to improve redundancy
• Developed Ruby and Puppet automation tools to manage over 500 Linux servers, including a script that used LVM snapshots to cut the end-user impact of data copy workflows from hours to seconds
• Optimized our customers for sustained growth by investigating root causes of database degradation and reviewing yearly database hardware sizing plans as part of our performance and scalability team
• Guided customer analysts, executives, engineers, and physicians through migrating operational databases to Epic-hosted infrastructure, halving end-user response times
