I have been a Portfolio/Program/Project Manager and Principal Consultant for various hospitals
over the last 15 years and in the information technology field for over 23 years. I have led major
initiatives for Dignity Health, Stanford University Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente
Hospital. Prior to the management of multiple projects, I was a Senior Systems Engineer III for
Kaiser Permanente Hospital as well as working in the Wireless 911, Stock Market and Banking
industries.
My experience includes a deep and thorough understanding with vast experiences on the
development and implementations of industry-led Tier 1 clinical and revenue services systems.
In the last 5 years I have actively accepted and provided management oversight for nearly 20
plus projects at Catholic Health West / Dignity Health starting in January 2010 through March
2015 for initiatives covering HIPAA 5010, ICD-10, E.H.R. Revenue Services (Siemens MS4 &
EDM) as well as multiple infrastructure upgrades for NextGen EMR ambulatory, SharePoint,
McKesson STAR as well as additional applications including (Artiva, SSI, Computer Assisted
Coding) which needed too be converted from physical servers to virtual servers due to size
limitations in the data center. I also oversaw the consolidation of multiple large-scaled
initiatives to consolidate multiple business billing offices in preparation for the OPTUM 360
partnership with United Healthcare with Dignity Health.
Prior to joining Dignity Health/Catholic Health West, I played a major part in the
implementation of Standard University Medical EPIC clinical delivery. I also actively took on the
coordination, management of combining 40 plus dictation & transcription services into one
complete .ASP model for the organization. I also was involved prior to the EPIC implementation
responsible for the GE Centricity Application upgrade as well as improving the stability of the
Hewlett Packard Nonstop System that supported the application.
Prior to joining the Dignity Health organization, I was a principal consultant working in the
banking industry for Fidelity Information (FIS) implementing multiple environments, including
the complete stand-up and built of the system of the Hewlett Packard (Tandem) Nonstop
systems. Joe oversaw the complete build for ATM and EBT payment systems.

Prior to joining the Perot System organization at Stanford University Medical Center I was
employed as a full-time employee for 5 years for Kaiser Permanente Hospital as a Senior

System (PIMS) and Scheduling/Appointment System. I was also responsible for the complete
communication systems supporting the Hewlett Packard Nonstop System as well as working

environment was in good standing. I was also responsible the complete stand-up and

Prior to joining the Kaiser Permanente organization, I was a principal consultant working in the

stand-up and built of Hewlett Packard (Tandem) Nonstop systems. I oversaw the complete

I recently earned my PhD. in Information Technology and Engineering. I also earned my Master

I also have done course work at California University, Northridge. In my tenure working with
multiple environments, I earned an IBM AIX Certification for system engineering as well earned
a Mission Critical Consultant for engineering on Hewlett Packard Nonstop system. In the last
recent years I have earned 35 required hours to participate and take the PMP (PMI) testing for
project management.
Summary:
I love to work and play, performing my consultant work is definitely equal to all of the work that
I have done. If not working, defiantly playing, one cannot play and work at the same time. But
one can definitely do his work to the best of his ability and apply those to playing as well.
Equally both have a purpose. One does have to sleep to do his/her work as well as having sleep
to be able to play. Work is never easy, but never is playing. Both have a solid goal in mind; one
cannot be good at one without being good at the other. Having success in one area applies to
any and all other areas especially when it comes to managing multiple resources in various
working areas. The job of work needs to be creative, driving as well as creative, it like in similar
to playing one cannot play well without be creative and experienced.
