Senior .NET Developer

One of the top priorities, for the Cerner Corporation’s Jan 2015 Healthcare Software Solution, called Millennium, was to apply a more modern User Interface, and by improving the Usability and Clarity of the User Interface. Within the broad set of solutions provided in the Millennium healthcare software is the PathNet solution for operating the Molecular & Clinical Pathology Laboratory. PathNet span over a million lines of code and hundreds .NET projects. Cerner created a user interface style guide to create a common look and feel standard for its Win32 applications. I was responsible for creating a framework that applied this new look and feel to the User Interface. I was responsible for designing custom window components that implemented the User Interface Style Guide, by applying color themes, gradients, and other aesthetically pleasing improvements. I was responsible for improving the Usability and Clarity of the functionality of screen elements, through reorganizing screen layout and ensuring accessibility of screen element functions. I was responsible for implementing these objectives using C# and Visual Studio 2010 across the over 500 screens, which included WinForms and WPF, and 100 applications that comprise the PathNet solution.

All software that was redesigned or modified had to meet the following ISO Standards.
