Most people call me TJ. I work on healthcare software at Oracle Health, and before that spent five years on build pipelines and developer platforms at VMware. I like the part of engineering where a complicated system has to become understandable.
01Selected work
My day job is healthcare software I cannot show you. These are the things I build on my own time, with the reasoning left in.
01Product2026Live
A weekly training planner whose plan lives as files in the repository: edited locally, published by pushing to Git.
02Product2026In progress
A private personal-finance ledger, built in small reviewed increments. The identity, ownership and audit foundation is in place; the ledger itself is next.
03Backend & APIs2024Archived
A Reddit-style community API in Spring Boot: email-verified signup, stateless JWT auth, communities and posts.
02How I work
Reliable software is mostly unglamorous work: tracing the edge case to its cause, giving the state a name, and leaving the next change safer than the last.
01
Most defects I work on cross a boundary: an interface, a workflow state, a service contract. I follow the symptom to the layer that owns it, and fix it there.
02
TrainGrid has no database because files were enough. LedgerOne is a monolith because nothing yet asks for more. I write down what a project will not use before I start it.
03
Lint rules, type checks, tests and pipeline gates are not overhead. They are what lets a team change a pharmacy interface on a Tuesday without holding its breath.
04
One change to an outpatient pharmacy workflow contributed to roughly 30% less time to dispense. A number like that is a person at a counter, waiting.
03Expertise
Four areas, each with the place I have actually used it. The tools are supporting evidence.
01
Services behind pharmacy and medication workflows at Oracle Health, including a unit-conversion service built with configuration, mapping and a focused test suite.
02
Moving build pipelines onto a shared workflow orchestrator at VMware, and tracing defects across interface, workflow state and service contracts in clinical systems.
03
Pharmacy interfaces, a pipeline metrics dashboard, an Angular diagnostics tool, and my own products from schema to screen.
04
Containerised services on Kubernetes, quality gates in CI, and shared pipeline libraries that removed duplicate work across teams.
04Contact
I am easy to reach, whether it is a role, a system that needs to get clearer, or just comparing notes.
