SamaCare builds software that helps to minimize the administrative burdens that make healthcare difficult to deliver to patients.
In addition to iterative feature work, some of the initiatives I led at SamaCare included:
• Documenting our hand-maintained AWS infrastructure by writing internal documentation and adopting Terraform, an infrastructure-as-code tool. This reduced costs along the way by cleaning up orphaned infrastructure, made it easy to scale down existing infrastructure allocations, and made it easier for any team member to change existing and deploy new infrastructure.
• Adopting standard reliability and monitoring practices (including centralized JSON-based logging, metrics collection, on-call pager rotations, etc.)
• Improving our security posture, e.g. by applying least-privilege principles wherever possible (more restrictive IAM policies, per-application tokens, removing shared credentials from Git repositories in favor of revocable per-developer credentials, etc.)
• Building out a UI kit to make our UIs more consistent and easier to build
• Designing and building a fault-tolerant product that allowed a customer to embed medical preauthorizations into their internal CRM tool
