I turn operational problems into well-defined products, then direct the engineers and vendors who build them, from live bed boards used across five hospitals to AI sepsis alerts clinicians can trust.

Currently designing and building independent apps for Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV.

Based in Collierville, TN, and open to remote work.

About

Shawn Bierman

I’ve spent my career in healthcare, first on Methodist Le Bonheur’s systems and innovation teams, then as cofounder of MedBeacon, leading product and technology. The work keeps coming back to one problem: turning data from separate systems into something clinicians and staff can understand and act on quickly.

I work from discovery through delivery. I sit with the people who’ll use the product, design the workflows and interfaces, prototype them, and then direct the engineers and vendors who build them.
