Title: Hey guys,<p>I&#x27;m a longtime reader of hacker news. I&#x27;m looking for a technical cofounder. I know this sounds bad but hear me out. I think a little bit about my background would be helpful. I graduated from UCSD in 2005 with my degree in computer science. I worked for a couple of years, mainly with PHP, before I applied to medical school. Currently I am a first-year resident at UCSF Fresno. After the year is over I will be heading to USC to start my radiology residency. I still try to code every once in a while and I know some Ruby on Rails, HTML&#x2F;CSS, and JavaScript.<p>With all the time I&#x27;ve spent in the health care system, I seen a lot of opportunities to start a company that would solve some of the problems I&#x27;ve seen in the hospital.<p>Many of the problems in healthcare involve two systems that need data from each other. For example there is a machine that measures pulmonary function and will generate a PDF report. This PDF report has values that need to be entered into an EMR&#x2F;EHR. This is time-consuming for some of the doctors and doctors should not be wasting their time with data entry. There is a stack of these reports and 10 minutes are spent entering in data and another one minute is spent interpreting the data.<p>I&#x27;m fairly certain I can write a program to do this and make an extra $500 per month from the hospital but starting a company around this idea seems to be a better option. With that being said, I&#x27;d rather have an engineer handle the coding and I would handle talking to hospitals and making sales. Many hospitals in the area need this sort of work done and I know we could generate income in this sector.<p>I&#x27;m looking specifically for somebody in California who can spend 2-3 hours per day coding on these projects. This person would probably be working on their own projects in their spare time. If this sounds like you please drop me an email at mtran115@gmail.com and we can talk some more.
