Hello, I'm
Brad Long
Technical Project Manager & Business Systems Analyst
I lead three Agile teams building healthcare software at Optum. I got here the long way: five years as a systems administrator, two in QA catching the bugs that would have billed customers incorrectly, then seven as a business systems analyst mapping EHR data and designing the interfaces payers and providers run on. That path is why I plan delivery around what breaks, not only what ships.
