New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Kerpelman is a Senior Software Engineer who brings a rare dual perspective: three years as an ICU nurse and five years building healthcare-focused software that actually fits clinical workflows. He has led large migrations and performance overhauls—rebuilding scheduling infrastructure used by 15,000+ clinicians and cutting load times from 10+ seconds to under 500ms—while also shipping AI-driven prior authorization tools that surface evidence-based guidance. Technically strong across React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL and Rails, he pairs product-minded frontend work with backend reliability at scale. His clinical background as an Epic super-user and SICU nurse informs design decisions, ensuring features reduce friction for frontline staff rather than add it. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic builder who translates messy clinical pain points into measurable product improvements. He’s seeking roles where clinical insight shapes engineering from day one, not after launch.
