Regulated systems delivery
A five-person team shipping a HIPAA-focused patient and staff record system for 26 hospital locations — a measured 60% improvement in record-processing efficiency.
Why it exists
The client hospital's nutrition department was tracking patient information on paper and in spreadsheets, which made it difficult to share records across staff or communicate reliably with patients. This client-sponsored engagement replaced that process with a Firebase-backed system built in Java and Kotlin for real-time data entry and retrieval between patients and staff, with the previous Access-based records kept as a backup during the transition.
Estimate, not a measurement. The client tree is not public, so this split is recalled from the engagement rather than computed by GitHub linguist. Treat the percentages as approximate.

What it is
A five-person engagement: document the architecture, implement patient and staff services, prove backups match the live store, and walk the sponsor up to administrative ownership. Dietary and patient workflow tracking moved off spreadsheets into structured records. The team measured about 60% improvement in record-processing efficiency.
The year ran in phases: August planning and a proof of concept, September–October for the first front end, the rest of 2021 on the client full stack, January–February on staff services, March–April wiring those two sides, then April–May on securing (HIPAA was reviewed throughout, and drilled hard in April) and a May handoff. Documentation and security work sat beside every phase. There is no public git history for this tree.
