EXPERIENCE

GAINWELL TECHNOLOGIES, Camp Hill, PA (remote) (May 2024 – May 2025)

Senior Professional Application Designer. Developed software to support Medicaid functionality for the state of Pennsylvania. Programmed in C, Pro*C, and SQL in UNIX environment. Used ASQC and Coverity to identify bugs and verify that they are fixed. Conducted audit of Medicaid claims from database records.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Biocomplexity Institute, Charlottesville, VA (remote) (2018 – 2019)

Consultant. Wrote code for machine learning to simulate interaction with Twitter using SQLite database on a high-performance Linux computer.

Converted neural network program from LENS (with C interface) to Keras (with Python interface).

Wrote machine learning programs using Python, NumPy, and scikit-learn. From a user’s pattern of recent posts on a social network, these programs predict the user’s future posting patterns.

VIRGINIA TECH, Biocomplexity Institute, Arlington, VA (remote) (2017 - 2018)

Research Associate. Developed Python and C programs for neural networks to implement machine learning. Used LENS neural network simulator. Created network of interacting agents to model social communication. Developed interface from Python program to C program.

SUNY DOWNSTATE MEDICAL CENTER (Department of Ophthalmology), Brooklyn, NY (2015-2017)

Programmer Analyst. Developed object-oriented MATLAB programs to conduct visual experiments for ophthalmic research and to analyze the subjects' eye movement and manual response datasets from the experiment. Collaborated with research scientists.

Developed algorithm to compute the apparent magnitude of a star whose apparent brightness is equal to that of a lighted dot on computer screen. Results of this algorithm are used for an experiment to simulate the visibility of the star over a range of visual angles. Assisted in preparing manuscript which was published in European Journal of Neuroscience entitled “Gaze mechanisms enabling the detection of faint stars in the night sky.”

Used Subversion repository to store programs for version control and availability to the group.

COMPUTATIONAL HEALTH BEHAVIOR DYNAMICS LAB (2013 – 2015)

Volunteer. Collaborated with former supervisor from Columbia Dr. Mark Orr in the development of mathematical models of social diffusion dynamics of health behavior.

Wrote C++ program using Visual Studio to compute effects of intercohort diffusion using Markov Cohort Analysis.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY (Department of Epidemiology), New York, NY (2011-2013)

Java Developer/Programmer. Collaborated in the development of Java simulation program for computational modeling and simulation of dynamic systems.

Developed new functionality for dynamic agent-based model to observe how the health behavior of each individual determines the population health outcomes. Programmed numeric and probabilistic calculations.

Wrote UNIX Shell Scripts for sequential execution and for parallel processing of multiple simulations for simultaneous execution on multiple cores.

Wrote code for computational analysis of the effects of economic and educational interventions upon community health.

Omnisoft/Keane at PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC AND GAS COMPANY, Newark, NJ (2008-2009)

Consultant. Planned conversion to C / C++ and Oracle of statistical software originally coded in Fortran and Vax/Vms SQL. Wrote documentation for this software and the planned conversion process. Translated Fortran programs to C with the aid of Promula Fortran tool. Trained team member in the structure of this software.

NEW YORK-PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL (through FIRST CONSULTING GROUP) (1998-2005)

Programmer Analyst. Designed and implemented programs to add intelligence to Electronic Medical Records maintained by Eclipsys clinical system. Enhanced the Computerized Physician Order Entry system with these clinical alert programs. Wrote programs in C with RDB (relational database) in UNIX environment.

Determined how to use the functionality of Eclipsys development environment for which no customer documentation was available. Developed programming methodologies for alert modules and encapsulated them in user-friendly C functions. These functions were a significant aid to team members developing other alerts for this project.

Together with my supervisor Dr. Michael Oppenheim, published description of techniques used by clinical alerts in proceedings of American Medical Informatics Association Symposium 2000 entitled "Design of a Clinical Alert System to Facilitate Development, Testing, Maintenance, and User-Specific Notification."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2243965/.

Developed computational programs for chemo and pediatric dose calculation, maximum dose checking, and calculation of creatinine clearance from serum creatinine laboratory test results.

Was assigned and successfully solved the most difficult and complex problems because of my deep understanding of the system.

POPKIN SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS (now Unicom Systems), New York, NY (1994-1998)

Software Developer. Developed, enhanced, and debugged portions of System Architect modeling tool using C, Visual C++, and Windows API. Solved software problems considered to be extremely difficult by technical managers and senior coworkers.
