When trying to speed up a slow-running application, it helps to know where the problem is. There are many causes of performance issues, but one of the most common and difficult to diagnose issues is around the application's data access.

Documented mortalities and morbidities related to drug interactions were addressed years ago in clinical informatics. This application uses VB.NET to detect and warn users about interactions. It has the advantage of "Localization", customization, and the ability to integrate with open-source CPOE.

Clinical Pharmacy AND Programming were, and still are, my life's passion. Children suffering from cancer has been my cause since 1998. I chose to "focus" on Children with Brain Tumors, as it is -till this day- one of the most challenging pediatric malignancies. Throughout my professional career, i learnt a lot of stuff to help me help children with cancer. Working with those under privileged kids also required me to have a deeper knowledge of Pediatric Oncology, Patient Education and cancer supportive care. I got training in different fields -not only- Clinical Pharmacy, but also Fundraising, Clinical Informatics and Web Development !

To make it short I'm an IT trainer specialized in the .Net ecosystem (framework, C#, WPF, Excel addins...).

I like to learn new things, particularly to understand what happens under the hood, and I do my best to share my humble knowledge with others by direct teaching, by posting articles on my blog (pragmateek.com), or by answering questions on forums.
