Professional Experience
MedHOK, Tampa, FL – Reports Developer: 2014-2015
Served multiple, conglomerate-sized clients of our cloud-based Java GUI application that specializes
in ensuring compliance with “government mandated” healthcare reporting. I developed and enhanced
scalable reporting of critical healthcare-related data by utilizing Unix/Linux, Eclipse, mySQL
Workbench, Notepad++, Jasper/iReports, pUTTY, WinSCP, and, by adhering to strict privacy &
security mandates. My projects were managed in Sprints and my assignments were tracked through the
JIRA Ticketing System. Development and testing were followed by rounds of UAT and QA reviews.
Client approvals were achieved via a course of “pushes” through multiple, successive environments - prior
to all production deployments. The knowledge I gained of clients’ data models and schemas contributed
greatly to seamless implementations and successful reporting solution deployments for parameterized,
graphical, formula-based, drill-down, sub-report, and many more data reporting types.
