Modernizing a connected-care portfolio — and pushing it forward.

Web application development across the .NET ecosystem on connected-care systems — a blend of legacy and modern apps, with a strong pull toward modernization and innovation.

  • Connected-care portfolio modernization

    Driving the migration of a multi-application portfolio away from end-of-life runtimes (.NET Framework 4.8, .NET Core 3) onto .NET 10 — incrementally, app by app, without freezing delivery.

  • New patient & family service for the care catalog

    A new patient- and family-facing addition to the connected-care services catalog, built on mobile technologies and distributed services. My concept was voted #1 in an internal innovation sprint, and I facilitated the innovation days where a 9-person team explored and extended it.

    • Mobile technologies
    • Distributed services

  • Cloud-API integrations

    Blazor applications integrating with the platform's cloud API to surface new operational capabilities to internal users.

Challenges Solved

The kind of stories an interviewer asks for.

  1. Legacy modernization · technical strategy
    Challenge

    A chunk of the portfolio sat on end-of-life frameworks — blocking security patches, modern tooling and performance work — but a big-bang rewrite was off the table.

    Approach

    Drove an incremental, app-by-app migration to .NET 10, keeping each app shippable throughout and prioritizing by risk and business value.

    Impact

    Portfolio moving onto a supported, modern runtime with reduced risk and a clear path off legacy — without stalling feature delivery.

  2. Initiative · influence without authority
    Challenge

    A gap in the care services catalog — nothing aimed directly at patients and their families — had no mandate behind it; nobody was going to build it unless someone made the case.

    Approach

    Pitched and prototyped a patient- and family-facing concept on mobile technologies and distributed services, then rallied stakeholders behind it during the innovation sprint.

    Impact

    Voted #1 idea of the sprint; facilitated the dedicated innovation days where a 9-person team grew the concept.

Growth
This stage turned me from a feature developer into someone who drives technical direction and initiative. I went deep on legacy modernization and architecture, learned to sell an idea internally and rally a team behind it — and started folding AI tooling into the workflow to move faster without letting the fundamentals atrophy.
