About
I'm a Salesforce Architect and automation engineer. I build systems that solve real problems.
What I Do
I specialize in healthcare automation and system architecture. Over the past few years, I've built a comprehensive automation suite for Dr. Ray OBGYN—a medical practice in California— that handles everything from fax processing to appointment scheduling.
The Dr. Ray Project
When I started working with Dr. Ray, the practice was drowning in paperwork. Faxes came in constantly. Documents needed to be routed, processed, filed. Appointments needed scheduling. Patient communications needed tracking.
So I built a system. Actually, I built 42+ services:
- 20 AWS Lambda functions handling backend processing
- 12 React frontend applications for staff workflows
- 10 automation tools including scrapers and integrations
The system processes faxes using OCR (AWS Textract), analyzes documents with AI (AWS Bedrock), generates referral documents, manages appointment scheduling, handles e-signatures, and integrates with multiple external platforms.
Writing
I write about systems, engineering, and the art of making things work. My blog covers:
- The Apollo Program — Deep technical dives into spacecraft systems and Mission Control
- Music Production — Steely Dan's recording techniques and jazz harmony
- System Design — Architecture decisions, automation patterns, and engineering philosophy
Background
I've been building systems professionally for over a decade. I started in Salesforce development and architecture, then expanded into full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and automation engineering.
I believe in building things that last. Systems should be maintainable, documented, and designed to evolve. The best code is code you don't have to think about—it just works.
