Real Systems & Context

KenyaEMR Production Deployments

I deploy and maintain KenyaEMR and TaifaCare instances for healthcare facilities, handling patient registration, clinical encounters, and reporting. I configure location hierarchies, user roles, and form customization to match facility workflows.

Dockerized OpenMRS Environments

I containerize OpenMRS deployments for development and testing environments. I manage Docker Compose configurations for multi-container setups including application server, database, and supporting services.

NGO Healthcare Program Support

I provide technical support for healthcare programs implementing EMR systems. I address production issues, perform system updates, and ensure data integrity across multiple facility sites.

Outcome-Focused Notes

  • Reliable patient data management and reporting
  • Improved clinical workflow efficiency through system configuration
  • Stable production environments with consistent uptime
  • Maintainable system architecture supporting long-term operations
