. HIX - Hired by www.clientsolv.com for a project at Great Western Life to

reverse engineer the "Auto Adjudicator" medical billing module and to

create documentation for the development staff to facilitate future

maintenance of that module. Typically, it would take a month or more for

a developer to familiarize themselves with that module in order to be

comfortable with making new changes. My documentation provided a guide to

the developers so they could quickly understand the architecture of the

Auto Adjudicator module in order to make changes and provide a path

forward to re-factor the module and greatly reduce the long term

maintenance costs. September 2003 - February 2004
