Thinking out loud about healthcare and software.
I write about healthcare technology, software engineering, AI, technical SEO, and the lessons that only appear once you have shipped something to real professionals. Shorter thinking goes out on LinkedIn first. The longer pieces live here.
Featured writing
RxHustle is finally on the Google Play Store
Four thousand pharmacists joined before the listing existed. On shipping through whatever channel is open instead of waiting for permission.
Logging an action is not the same as controlling it
A lab staff member amended an approved test result. The audit log recorded it faithfully and prevented nothing, so I redesigned the LIMS around amendments instead of edits.
I built a data sync pipeline that scrambled live records in production
How a Google Forms and Sheets quick fix for a clinic corrupted its database, and what the rebuilt EMR (access controls, validation, Apps Script) had to get right to earn 80% adoption.
I scaled to 3,160+ users while completely ignoring technical SEO
The solo-developer sin: duplicate staging content, orphaned pages, indexing failures and auth walls blocking crawlers, and a public commitment to documenting every fix.
Ten tips for learning to program without quitting
Written for beginners: choosing tools for the thing you actually want to build, offline documentation, practice platforms, and finding a mentor.
These live on LinkedIn for now. The pieces worth keeping will be rewritten as essays here, where I own the canonical version.
Essays
The first essays are being written
Rather than back-fill this page with thin posts, I am starting with a small number of pieces worth the reading time. The ones in progress:
- Essay 01
- The translation problem: why healthcare software keeps solving the wrong version of the right problem
- Essay 02
- Where to remove the edit button: governance, not features, in clinical software
- Essay 03
- When the gatekeeper is slow: distribution before permission
- Essay 04
- Technical SEO is a clinical feature, not a marketing one
The shorter versions of the middle two are already on LinkedIn, above.
Elsewhere
Most of my writing so far has gone out on LinkedIn, where the audience is the one I am building for: pharmacists, pharmacy students and people working in health systems.
I also publish on the RxHustle blog: pharmacy industry updates and practice-facing pieces written for the professionals using the platform rather than for a general audience.
What I write about
- HealthTech
- What actually changes when software meets a clinical workflow, and what does not
- Clinical systems
- EMR and LIMS design: access control, approval locking, amendments, and where governance beats features
- Pharmacy
- Education, licensing, locum work, and the technology gap around all three
- AI
- Where models belong inside clinical and educational products, and where they are decoration
- Engineering
- Shipping as one person, Flutter and Firebase in practice, decisions you can defend later
- Technical SEO
- Findability as a product requirement for professional audiences
