As the only developer I built the “Pathway” project for HFRI reps to process denied claims for hospitals. Pathway analyzes denial data and guides the reps in a “Turbo-Tax” style to work accounts correctly, resolve the denial, and dynamically generate EHR notes.
Member of a 3 person development team that designed and built a platform for telehealth visits between providers and patients on their browsers and mobile devices. The app integrates with a variety of different EHR APIs including NextGen, Athena, Greenway, and DrChrono. We used a SQL Server, .NET Core, Entity Framework, and Angular 7 stack.

I wanted to build a portfolio website for myself that also doubled as a blog. In order to host it for free on Github Pages I wanted to avoid using Wordpress or needing a database. To do so I used ruby and the static-site generator Jekyll which allows me to easily create blog posts as markup files and drop them in.
Learned Bootstrap and assisted in the development of the professional portfolio website for architect / designer Yasmeen Almuhanna.

This is the 3rd and final post on my series about my Breaking News Bot App, a news app with a bias slider to observe how political spin changes the narrative of certain topics. This post could also be titled “How Not to Release an App” or “Don’t be Lazy”. In my original post I mentioned how I used the Bing News API because I was trying to avoid the work of becoming my own news aggregator for this purpose. Both the idea and the code was simple and I didn’t want to over complicate it. The pricing of the Bing API at $6 for 1000 api calls is something I knew wouldn’t scale well but if this didn’t generate interest or traffic then it wouldn’t matter much anyway. In fact, I had the app up a few months (with minimal traffic) and received Azure bills for .17 cents / month and .30 cents per month. In order to reduce that potential bill even further I added client-side caching, so any topic/bias combination searched by a client n number of times would only burn 1 api call. In order to determine if I could be done with this app or have to re-engineer it, I posted it on reddit to gauge interest.

or /etc/environment
or possibly ~/.bashrc
and it’s still not being picked up in c# by Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("API_KEY")
(for example).
This is part 2 of my Breaking News Bot project. This post is mostly on the infrastructure I used to host it. I will walk you through how to set up a .NET 6 Web Api backend and Angular Front end application on a $5/month DigitalOcean droplet running Ubuntu 20.04. More realistically this is going to serve as my own reference when I forget how I configured my server and need to do it again.
