Back to All Computer Science and Software Development, Mathematics Spotlights

I work at Epic Systems in Verona, Wisconsin, as an Integration Engineer. Epic develops software to support healthcare systems and maintain an integrated and robust Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for patients. When healthcare systems integrate with other systems and need to exchange data, they do so using interfaces. I work with healthcare organizations’ IT teams to test, implement, and support these interfaces, as well as to give recommendations on the best and newest ways to exchange medical data. I also focus on conversion implementation projects where we take medical data from an organization’s former system and bring it into Epic so doctors can seamlessly care for patients once they go live with Epic.

No two days are the same at my job — I typically split my time between implementation and support work. I lead and participate in project tracking meetings and troubleshooting sessions, and I travel onsite one week per month to spend time working “in the weeds” with my analysts. Internally, I have ownership roles in the training & learning and conversion areas.

My studies in mathematics and computer science at Saint Michael’s prepared me to thrive at Epic. These subjects taught me attention to detail and problem-solving, and a broader liberal arts education helped to provide me with communication and organization skills essential for managing multiple projects simultaneously and working with a large number of people across the nation.
