Top SchoolMike Rapa is a seasoned software leader with nearly 25 years of experience and nine years in senior management roles, currently serving as Vice President of Software Development at Altera Digital Health. He has led large, distributed engineering organizations—managing 90+ developers across the U.S. and India—to deliver enterprise electronic medical records systems used by major hospitals in multiple countries. At Allscripts he drove regulatory-driven feature development, test automation, code review practices, and formalized hotfix/change control processes that supported four concurrent product versions.

Mike’s background in software engineering (Penn State Great Valley) and computer science gives him a rare combination of deep product domain knowledge in healthcare IT and practical experience scaling large teams and mission-critical software. He’s particularly adept at stabilizing complex systems for high-availability customers while still delivering new regulated features on schedule.
