SUMMARY:

• With almost 30 years of experience in the analysis, design, and development of both applications and databases, I have worked with all levels of management and interpreted high-level business concepts into detailed requirements along with detailed documentation appropriate for all audiences. I have experience in the entire software development lifecycle SDLC including leadership, planning, design, development, testing, implementation, and training.
• Throughout my career, a high-degree of flexibility, adaptability, and the capacity to multi-task has served me well in fulfilling demanding requirements. My positive and open personality has enabled me to enjoy a great rapport with people which allows me to obtain cooperation and support from others of various backgrounds and corporate levels. As a result, I have been called upon many times to serve as a liaison between technical and business teams as well as to present technical information to non-technically oriented people. I have often been called upon to mediate discussions with personnel of differing points of view and helped them to arrive at an equitable solution for all concerned.

EXPERIENCE:

SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT

Confidential

I perform architectural services to design solutions that implement Meaningful Use and Clinical Quality Measures. I designed the patent-pending measure calculation engine for the CoreANALYTICSTM suite including the XML measure format and editor which allows non-programmers to create/edit measures that are compiled into the measure calculation engine. I guided programmers to develop the suite of applications and provided presentations on their usage to upper management as well as to current and potential clients. Implementations included SQL Server 2008/2012 and IBM Netezza 7.0.

SENIOR DATA ARCHITEC

I served as the technical lead for the eQuality project sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CMS .

SENIOR DATA ARCHITECT

Confidential

• I served as the primary data architect for various projects involving health information technology in an enterprise environment utilizing Oracle 10g and SQL Server 2008. My responsibilities included reviewing project proposals to ensure data integrity and consistency. I also served as an advisor on several committees to provide a feasibility check on various proposals and business initiatives.
• I also served as the architect and development manager for the Quality Health First program . I was responsible for the technical design and implementation of the project including supervision of the development team. I created the database design and developed much of the database code including ETL processes, reports, and complex stored procedures. I also defined standards of development and documentation across all aspects of the project.
• The project involved the collection and management of massive amounts of clinical and claims data from various sources throughout the state of Indiana, aggregation according to various measures based upon HEDIS, AMA or other standard measures, then production of reports for participating payers insurance companies , medical groups and physicians on their patients who meet specific criteria for preventative screenings and management of chronic illnesses such as diabetes . The goal of the project was to reduce health care costs while at the same time improve the quality of health care for all patients.

SENIOR SYSTEMS ANALYST

Confidential

• I fulfilled many technical and non-technical duties at this mid-sized automotive component manufacturing facility. I designed, implemented and supported a 10-server network including Active Directory, Exchange 2003, SQL Server 2000, and Citrix MetaFrame XP for 200 workstations. I also designed and oversaw the implementation of a facility wide wireless network. I also managed and supported all telecommunications telephone, ISDN, T-1, WAN, and cellular and negotiated favorable contracts and terms with vendors and service providers.
• I designed and developed a barcode inventory control system utilizing touch-screen Citrix-based wireless terminals and wireless PocketPC based scanners. A SQL Server database that I designed tracks all activity during production, provides inventory control, ensures quality assurance checks, and manages shipping activities. It also interfaces with an Automated Guided Vehicle system for material movement within the facility. It literally changed how the company manages their production and shipping and significantly reduced the amount and severity of customer rejections and almost eliminated the very costly process of product recalls.

Generated reports provided instructions for loading product on semi-trailers, delivery schedules and routes.
