About Delissa Dowell

I’m a software engineer in Chicago, IL. My passion for helping individuals has naturally ignited my curiosity to learn how to help people on a global level. Web development has opened up that door for me! “Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire!” Lists set my soul on fire. That’s right, making lists to be more specific. There is just something about grabbing a piece of paper, a nice pen, and making all of the impossible things on my to-do list a bit more tangible. So that’s what I’m going to do here. I’m going to share a list of some of the things I’ve accomplished and let you in on the story that got me here. Volunteer at Local Hospital in junior high Become a Licensed Practical Nurse in highschool Become a Registered Nurse at Case Western Reserve University Fall in love with the transition to Electronic Health Records Become the go-to Techy nurse (better known as Epic Super-User) Fall in love with coding! I’m ready to add more goals on my list to accomplish, while developing solutions to problems through code just as I’ve helped countless patients and families navigate their healthcare. There is something incredibly satisfying about being the person that makes even the smallest task easier when people are dealing with so much.
