About

During my career in the medical field I noticed significant potential for workforce multiplication through digital tools, such as EMRs and Patient interface portals. I saw these tools as a way to streamline the interaction between patients and their care teams and in doing so improve the quality of care patients were receiving. Communication is key to maintaining an up to date, accurate medical history for a patient, which directly translates in to better overall care. Having a patient portal with an intuitive, accessible interface is critical in recruiting patient participation in their own care! I noticed many similar issues once I began work as a district manager for a medical device manufacturer. The apps and digital tools available for internal communication and customer relations management were excellent; however, the ability for customers to reach out and recieve the details about our education events, product specifications and even pricing information was lacking and relied largely on old-school mass email blasts, which are less than ideal. I always wanted an outward facing solution for customers to easily access intructional videos and product information when they needed a quick refresher. Now that I have completed a Full-Stack development program I want to create sleek, responsive business solutions for you!
