Summary
Mike Blyth is a pediatrician-turned-technical problem solver with over 30 years of clinical and leadership experience and 14 years of focused work blending medicine, IT, and project management. He has built EMR database components, automated HEDIS reporting, and developed SMS-based patient communication systems while practicing primary care for multilingual communities. Early-career experience as a programmer and later web/EMR developer in low-resource settings (including deploying Ruby on Rails EMRs and campus networks in Nigeria) gives him rare hands-on fluency across clinical workflows, databases, and web technologies. Currently tutoring secondary students online, he pairs patient-centered care and public health training (MPH) with pragmatic health IT expertise and a track record of shipping usable systems that improve access and quality of pediatric care. Something not obvious: he has repeatedly translated front-line clinical needs into technical solutions—from resident scheduling tools at UCLA to NextGen database exports—demonstrating a consistent talent for turning operational pain points into sustainable tech.
