# Joe Rowley > Software engineer with a passion for healthcare Location: Berkeley, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/joerowley My time has been spent working in several disciplines, but I'm most interested in healthcare. As a software engineer I've built web applications (both frontend and backend), data processing tools, and worked on code for microprocessors. I really enjoy building tools that turn complicated data into something more usable, such as an API endpoint, an interactive visualization or dashboard. As a hardware engineer I've designed a few PCBs. I've also worked extensively in teams, at times taking roles in leadership. In my free time, I enjoy trail running, reading, and listening to music. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer (Manager) @ Pomelo Care Jan 2025 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ Pomelo Care Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 ### Head of Engineering @ Curebase Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area I joined Curebase as the 5th employee and have lead the engineering team as we have grown from 5 to > 20 ICs, 3 managers and a director.

I use React, Nodejs, Graphql, Postgres, Docker, and AWS managed with Terraform, to name a few tools. I also helped create the initial Quality Management System (manual, policies, procedures, etc), which ensures we maintain compliance with different quality programs and regulations, such as HIPAA, GCP/ICH (Good Clinical Practices), and 21 CFR Part 11 (requirements around record submission to the FDA). ### Dev Ops Engineer @ Independent Contractor for Healthcare Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 Worked with a small healthcare nonprofit, updating their infrastructure / CICD systems. Primarily used Ansible and AWS. ### Software Engineer, Integration Lead @ AgileMD Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area I joined a 4 person team, with 2 EHR integrated products: 1) cardiac arrest prediction 2) Clinical pathway workflows. These applications were compatible with Internet Explorer 8, yet were modern full stack web applications with unit tests. (Node, ES6, React, Mocha, Sass, Postgres, MongoDB) I also developed a serverless idempotent data ingestion platform (AWS Lambda, AWS SAM, python2, node, AWS Aurora/Postgres). ### Full Stack Web Engineer / Generalist @ Integrated Healthcare Association Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 I'm was one of 3 engineers at a 20 person non-profit that administers a Value Based Pay for Performance program for Provider Organizations and Health Plans for the state of California. I built web based reporting portals, and the data pipelines (validators, loaders) that support them. Tools I used include: - Python (Django, Pandas, Numpy) - Postgres (Accessed via Django ORM, SQLAlchemy, Raw SQL) - React, Redux, Redux Saga, Highcharts ### Research and Development Consultant @ Bellus3D Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Los Gatos, CA - Developed hardware prototypes for an experimental camera (circuit design and construction). - Wrote various Python scripts for the Raspberry Pi and C for microprocessors. ### Course Developer Assistant @ University of California, Santa Cruz Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 | Santa Cruz, CA I helped Phokion Kolaitis, the Chair of CS at UC Santa Cruz (at the time), create a new course, CMPS 185: Technical Writing And Communication In Computer Science. This involved researching related courses at other universities, developing curriculum and assignments, and creating a repository of interesting research papers and patents related to computer science. ### Undergraduate Research Intern @ University of California, Santa Cruz Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 | Santa Cruz,CA I served as the lead engineer, designed a prototype of an experimental camera flash with 10 individually controlled high power LEDs.
