Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRich Coe is a seasoned interoperability and systems engineer with 12+ years focused on Linux/Unix software and medical imaging standards, currently leading interoperability efforts at Elucid Bioimaging to integrate PACS and EMR systems and support computer-aided prognostics. His background spans kernel and X window stack development, creating an openSUSE-based distribution, porting Go, and low-level filesystem utilities—work that reflects deep OS-level expertise dating back to device driver development at IBM. A long tenure in DICOM engineering (TeraMedica) and a history at GE Healthcare give him rare domain fluency in medical imaging workflows and standards. He contributes practical open-source improvements—such as performance optimizations to the Liferea feed reader—demonstrating a habit of improving both back-end efficiency and user-facing reliability. Based in Sussex, Wisconsin, he also mentors emerging programmers and pairs advanced technical craft with hands-on interoperability delivery.
