Overview

Interface support to integration architecture

I've spent 14 years in healthcare IT, working across interface support, API engineering, integration architecture, and team leadership. I care about the details that make an integration maintainable: clear contracts, useful errors, monitoring, and someone who owns the next step.

Outside of work, I run a Kubernetes homelab with GitOps delivery, self-hosted GPU inference, and supervised AI development tools. It supports my independent projects: fi-fhir, edilint, FlexInfer, and Loom. Their code and docs show what I'm building and how I test it.

I use this site to share implementation notes, case studies, and lessons from that work, including the things I'm still figuring out.

Principles

How I work

  1. 01

    Make the contract explicit

    The API, documentation, and acceptance tests should describe the same behavior. I check the gaps before they become support problems.

  2. 02

    Measure before optimizing

    Establish a baseline, change one thing, and check the result against the same workload.

  3. 03

    Make support part of delivery

    Agree on who responds, what they need to investigate, and how incident findings get back into engineering.

  4. 04

    Review the evidence

    When I use AI development tools, I review the diff, the test results, and the commit they apply to. A passing check needs to cover the change being shipped.
