Joel Smith

I've built production web applications for Bluesight, Rithum, and SkySlope across healthcare, connected commerce, and real estate. At Bluesight, I owned ControlCheck capabilities that help hospital pharmacy teams investigate medication activity, diversion risks, and audit-ready case reviews.

I develop Go, Node.js, Python, Vue.js, and PostgreSQL features end to end, from REST API design through deployment, monitoring, and production support. I reduced unresolved medication-event ingestion failures by 27% through indexing, query optimization, schema validation, idempotent processing, and production monitoring.

At Rithum, I improved peak event-processing throughput by 24% using PostgreSQL tuning, batched writes, Redis coordination, and asynchronous processing. I also built monitoring tools for integration issues, rejected records, webhook failures, and replayable marketplace events.

I bring hands-on GCP and Azure experience, containerized deployments, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and documented collaboration with Product, QA, Implementation, Support, and distributed engineering teams.
