Frequently Asked Questions
On Sanjoy Roy
🧑💻 Category: Experience & Services
What kind of projects have you worked on?
I’ve led and contributed to enterprise-grade projects in healthcare, education, and public service domains. My work spans EHR/HIS platforms, ERP systems, cloud-native backend services, DevOps automation, and full-stack web apps.
Do you offer both consulting and development services?
Yes. I offer technical consulting (architecture, compliance, digital transformation planning) and hands-on development (backend, frontend, DevOps, deployment). You can hire me as a consultant, a contractor, or both.
What is your core area of expertise?
My core expertise lies in cloud backend architecture using .NET and Python, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and healthcare IT systems that comply with HL7, DICOM, and HIPAA standards.
Can you manage a project end to end?
Absolutely. I can take a project from requirement analysis through architecture, development, testing, deployment, and DevOps automation—ensuring quality and timely delivery.
Do you specialize in healthcare software only?
Healthcare is a specialty, but not a limitation. I also build ERP systems, SaaS platforms, education tools (like LMS), and general-purpose full-stack applications.
Do you work with startups or only large organizations?
I work with both. I’ve partnered with startups for MVP development and scaling, and also with large organizations (including JCI-accredited hospitals) for full-system rollouts.
Can you work with an existing development team?
Yes. I often collaborate with internal dev teams or freelancers, contributing as an architect, backend specialist, DevOps lead, or tech consultant.
Do you support ongoing maintenance and scaling?
Yes. I offer ongoing support, performance tuning, cloud cost optimization, and feature enhancements post-deployment to keep systems running smoothly.
Do you provide documentation and SOPs?
Absolutely. I prepare technical documentation, API specs, infrastructure diagrams, SOPs for healthcare workflows, and onboarding docs for dev teams.
Do you offer fixed-scope or time-based contracts?
I’m open to both. Fixed-scope works well for defined projects, while hourly or retainer-based contracts suit long-term or evolving engagements.
☁️ Category: Technology & Infrastructure
What cloud platforms do you work with?
I work with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I’ve built cloud-native services, CI/CD pipelines, and secure, scalable infrastructures on all three.
What’s your experience with DevOps tools?
I regularly use Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and Terraform. I automate deployments, integrate tests, and monitor infrastructure using tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
Can you build and deploy multi-tenant systems?
Yes. I’ve architected multi-tenant SaaS platforms with role-based access control, data sharding, and isolated environments per client.
How do you manage security and compliance in cloud apps?
I apply best practices like IAM policies, encrypted storage, secure APIs, least-privilege roles, and audit logging. I also design with HIPAA/GDPR compliance in mind for sensitive data.
Do you implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?
Yes. I use Terraform, Bicep, and Pulumi to define cloud infrastructure—ensuring repeatability, versioning, and environment parity across Dev, QA, and Prod.
Can you help migrate legacy apps to the cloud?
Absolutely. I handle cloud migration planning, monolith refactoring, containerization, database migration, and deployment on scalable cloud infrastructure.
What backend languages do you use?
My primary languages are C# (.NET) and Python. I also use Node.js when needed and have experience integrating them with various frontend and cloud components.
What frontend technologies do you work with?
I build UIs using React, Blazor, and Next.js. I focus on responsive, performant, and accessible frontends that integrate seamlessly with backend APIs.
How do you handle database design and performance?
I design optimized schemas in MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL. I use indexing, caching, and query optimization to ensure fast, scalable data access.
Do you use CI/CD in your workflows?
Yes. Every project includes automated build-test-deploy pipelines, typically through GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, ensuring reliable releases and rollback options.
🏥 Category: Healthcare IT & Compliance
What is your experience in healthcare IT?
I’ve led full-cycle EHR and HIS implementations, integrated lab devices, managed digital transformation projects, and supported compliance in JCI-accredited hospitals and public health networks.
Can you help us implement an EHR or HIS system?
Yes. I specialize in deploying and customizing Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS), including appointment, billing, EMR, pharmacy, and diagnostic modules.
What standards do you work with in healthcare?
I work with HL7, DICOM, LOINC, ICD-10, SNOMED CT, RxNorm, and HIPAA/GDPR for interoperability, compliance, and secure medical data exchange.
Do you understand clinical workflows?
Yes. I’ve mapped workflows for OPD, IPD, emergency, diagnostics, pharmacy, and discharge. I align software design with actual clinical practices and SOPs.
Can you integrate with medical devices or labs?
Yes. I integrate lab equipment, imaging systems (PACS), and bedside monitoring tools with HIS/LIS to enable real-time data flow and reduce manual entry.
Do you assist with regulatory compliance?
Absolutely. I help institutions meet data privacy, consent, documentation, and audit standards under HIPAA, GDPR, and local healthcare laws.
Can you automate lab and diagnostic operations?
Yes. I develop and integrate Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), enabling automated sample tracking, result reporting, and lab device connectivity.
Do you support telemedicine or remote care?
Yes. I implement telemedicine modules and integrate IoT-based devices for remote monitoring, helping reach patients in rural or under-served areas.
Can you help with AI and data analytics in healthcare?
Yes. I use Python and Power BI for clinical data visualization, and I design ML pipelines to support predictive diagnostics and operational insights.
Do you provide healthcare IT strategy or transformation consulting?
Yes. I advise on tech planning, vendor selection, platform design, and modernization strategy—ensuring healthcare IT investments deliver measurable value.
