Kenneth Baskett

As a supervisor for the Home Care development group, I managed anywhere from six to nine engineers, including new hires and tenured staff. In addition to quarterly and annual performance reviews, I met regularly with my staff to assist with their career development.

I continued to develop new features and resolve bugs in addition to my duties as a supervisor. Currently, I am serving as technical lead for a team developing the next generation of the Home Care clinical documentation experience.

Previously, I served as scrum master for the Home Care integration team. Sprint velocity increased 20% due to process improvements made while I was in that role. I mentored several new hires while in this role, and continued developing new projects when possible.

Meditech is a major vendor in the electronic health record space. I worked in the Home Care group on both bug fixes and new features.

I started out working on the clinical side of the application, but quickly transitioned to the integration team. There, I was responsible for communication between the Home Care and Hospital solutions using industry-standard formats like HL7.

Unimpressed by the company's available development tools, I wrote Sublime Text language integration for the proprietary tech stack and made it available to other engineers at the company. I still support this tooling today.

After teaching ninth grade mathematics in my first year, I was able to transfer to the county's STEM magnet school. There, I improved existing courses on engineering, 2D and 3D modeling, and graphic design. I also developed a new capstone engineering course and a computer science course. I also worked as the assistant coach of the engineering and robotics team, which competed in FIRST Robotics and several other competitions.

Studied Aerospace Engineering and interned with the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory. Staff writer, copy editor and Advertising Manger for the Technique, the school's student newspaper.
