Summary
Excellent problem solving and analytical skills. A demonstrated advanced conceptual thinker. Can easily move between conceptual thought, executive presentation and concrete implementation. Over 40 years of Healthcare IT expertise in computer operations, programming, remote systems management, disaster recovery planning, networking and HIS integration. Most recent 14 years involved technical design, development, implementation and maintenance of Cloverleaf interface and HL7 transaction flow for multi-facility healthcare organizations. I proactively promote interface solutions before others even know there is a problem.
