* Served in the lead technical role for VUMC’s clinical alerting and communications systems. Inherited a legacy monolithic in-house developed closed loop system for alerting on critical lab results and radiology studies. * Planned, architected, and implemented changes to integrate our alerting system with Epic’s EHR and Mobile Heartbeat’s MH-Cure platform.* Defined the vision, plan, and architecture to replace our original alerting and communications systems with a loosely coupled, distributed platform that would enable VUMC to quickly implement and deploy new types of alerts and route those alerts to the appropriate clinicians or external systems. * Working with a small team (a Product Manager, Technical Lead, two Developers, and a QA tester), was able to go from ideation in early 2019 to a production platform a year later. In 2022 this platform created and routed over 1 million alerts, delivered over 4 million messages, and expanded our alerting capabilities to include, among others, detection of a pulmonary emboli, positive blood cultures in the transplant population, positive covid-19 results, pneumonia in the pediatric population, meningitis, negative troponin level trends, and thromboelastography results. * Contributed to VUMC’s covid-19 response by building applications for managing vaccination sites and scheduling as well as the implementation of alerts for all positive covid-19 results. This was accomplished while also delivering key components of our new alerts and communications platform.

* Key member of a cross-functional team building an innovative system aimed at improving the detection and management of Sepsis, a potentially life-threatening infection.* Effectively partnered with clinical practitioners, scientists from Vanderbilt's Institute for Software Integrated Systems, and engineers representing seven different teams to understand the problem domain, the clinical workflow, and the existing IT infrastructure and architect a solution that is proving effective at early detection of Sepsis in ICU units.* Contributed extensively to the application and services code base with contributions in the web tier, database persistence, business logic, business rules, and messaging. All code was written using a test-driven development approach with junit and fitnesse.* Related publications:- http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/the-doctor-will-brms-you-now/- http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=7324
