Software Engineer Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

Failure is inevitable
Learning is optional

I help organizations design solutions to complex problems by gaining a thorough understanding of low-level systems and their interactions. I believe that every failure is an opportunity for growth and consider optimal solutions to be those that are grounded by reflection on real-world experiences.

About

I'm a Software Engineer and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than ten years of clinical experience in Critical Care and Emergency Medicine.

I bring a unique perspective to solving problems at the intersection of technology and sensitive environments, like healthcare.

I enjoy gaining a comprehensive understanding of low-level details in complex systems and leveraging diverse experiences to design thoughtful solutions. I am especially interested in software architecture, vulnerability detection, risk mitigation strategies, and workflow optimization projects.

David is a deeply knowledgeable and composed clinician. His calm demeanor and clinical insight are qualities that consistently benefit patients and colleagues alike.

Design Principles

Identify the Problem
The most important step in designing solutions is to gain a complete understanding of the problem in context.
User-Centered Design
Users are an important part of the system, and they are under no obligation to use the system as-intended.
Flexibility for Extension
Requirements change over time. Build component boundaries that allow systems to evolve without extensive refactoring.
Maintenance
Maintenance costs more than development. A thoughtfully-designed solution saves money over time.
Security First
Real-world systems are under constant threat. Design with security as a fundamental principle.
