Full-stack product engineer at Instinct Science building veterinary workflows, including race-safe remote treatment-estimate approvals.
What I'm looking for
At Instinct Science, I work across a veterinary EMR platform, building product features for clinical workflows, medication orders, documents, integrations, and billing-adjacent processes. I’ve also improved API and database correctness and performance, and contributed developer tooling and AI-assisted maintenance workflows.
I owned major backend and frontend pieces of remote treatment-estimate approvals, from token-based signing links and the Phoenix LiveView experience to audit events and race-safe submission handling. I also worked on medication-safety features that preserve the patient’s weight at treatment time and let practices configure review thresholds.
At Sellr, I built and maintained retail advertising systems and Android tablet applications, and led a team of six developers through weekly Agile delivery. I started in clinical software support at Velocity Medical Solutions, helping users with installations, upgrades, training, and troubleshooting. I’m seeking Staff or Principal IC roles where I can retain hands-on coding ownership.
