I came to software the practical way: by building something that had
to work. Working in home health — handling scheduling, billing,
and mileage tracking — I watched a field nurse lose hours every
day to logistics. So I built NurseTrack
to fix it. It has run in production every single day since, planning a
real nurse's schedule and routes in the field.
That project turned a job into a calling. I'm now formalizing the
self-taught foundation through the
True Coders software engineering
bootcamp, going deeper on C# and .NET, and re-architecting NurseTrack
into ServeSync — a multi-tenant
commercial platform on ASP.NET Core and Azure.
The career switch isn't a gap to explain away — it's the reason I
build the way I do. Years of solving real operational problems taught
me to start from the user and the outcome, ship things that hold up
under daily use, and sweat the details that make software actually
dependable. I'd rather build one tool people rely on than ten demos
that never leave localhost.
