Clint Andrew Hall

Web Evangelist responsible for promoting an agnostic, progressive enhancement web philosophy for all web teams within Cerner. Also responsible for evaluating emerging web technologies for potential inclusion in the stack, performing research and presenting findings to the Cerner community and beyond, managing relationships with existing and potential partners and vendors.

Presentation Architect within Cerner Healthe, (a consumer division within Cerner), responsible for all aspects of the web presentation layer technology stack. Influenced and interpreted visual design, delivering complete HTML, CSS and JS code for multiple platforms (e.g. mobile, iPhone, desktop, etc) for more than six different solutions impacting health and claims management, as well personal health record-keeping.

• Credited with developing and implementing a comprehensive, browser agnostic web philosophy responsible for a level of accessibility previously not possible for Cerner web solutions.
• Invented the Web Bootstrapper, a patent-pending technology that allows semantic web pages to adapt to the heuristics of the device or platform on which it's being displayed. This technology has since been utilized across the spectrum of Cerner solutions.
• Served as a consultant and mentored engineers for multiple groups and product units in web technology and development.

Presentation Architect over the ePrescribing (eRx) and Community Health Record (CHR) solutions for the treatment of entire Medicare populations in several states. Duties included interpreting functional requirements into a coherent user interface and visual design. This was followed by deep technical design for implementation, including proprietary, markup-producing Java Presentation Components, service façade usage, Struts actions, Ajax, JavaScript, CSS, semantic HTML and cross-browser compatibility.

• Proposed and spearheaded the "New Navigation" project, a radical redesign of the user interface based on usability study and sales feedback. Wrangled module teams and coordinated their workflow redesign from concept to deployment.
• Developed architecture pattern discarding JSPs in favor of full modules of aggregate presentation components, adding entire workflows to any WAR using standard J2EE and Struts configuration. Approach was then adopted by all web solutions at Cerner.
• Responsible for mentoring software engineers and other architects in semantic markup practices and prudent JavaScript.

Presentation layer developer for the Web Experience solution, specifically the Order Management space. Designed, documented, and developed front-end user interfaces for order placement, drug catalog browsing, proactive interaction checking and alerting.

• Developed a reusable, component-based rendering system for the presentation layer. This resulted in a dramatic 80% reduction in markup on JSPs and allowed for the inclusion of order-specific constructs in other spaces with little code.
• Considered Subject Matter Expert for presentation layer technologies, serving as a code review agent for other associate and team-produced code. Taught multiple courses for new and existing associates within the HR training framework.

Transitioned from Accenture Outsourcing to Sprint PCS as a Software Engineer II. Member of the Architecture team, responsible for applying design patterns, creating interfaces to back-end applications, and overseeing code development across releases.

• Found simple code modification that eliminated an expensive project and saved the team tens of thousands of dollars.
• Considered Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the application and in business-layer interfaces, including AMDOCS.
