6:30 am<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most Canadians, I start my day early- especially during summer. And like most Japanese, I prefer to take a shower at night to save time in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I quickly wash my face and put on anything I find from the wardrobe. I commute by train – from Oakville where I live to Fairview street, Burlington where SyS Creations office is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since I commute in off-peak hours, I always find a comfortable seat on the train to relax. While on a 30-minute train journey, I read healthcare IT, startups and some local news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These are the websites I every day fetch through while being on the train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 7:45 am<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I usually reach the office before 8. But I don\u2019t go directly to my desk. With my colleagues, I take morning coffee and some snacks & fruits. While having our morning coffee, we discuss any random thing – but related to IT and development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am fairly new in healthcare IT with 1.5 years of experience. But my colleagues are the best healthcare app developers in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At least this is what their project managers and clients have to say about them which I have also witnessed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 8:10 am<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am on my desk. This is where I spend most of my time. We love to keep it clean and minimalistic as we believe a workplace is a place to worship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And yes, we don\u2019t use bulky computers. We use powerful tiny Surface Books. That provides us super flexibility to work from anywhere – especially during the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what I captured on the day company provided me with this cute-looking beast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 8:10 to 9 am<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I go through all emails and today\u2019s tasks assigned by my project manager. For my project manager, it is crucial to managing the project in such a way that it gets delivered on time and within the budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, every task I perform is managed and tracked via a project management tool – ClickUp. In fact, the entire project is managed through the ClickUp tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is how project management in ClickUp looks like. (Of course, I can\u2019t share the real thing as it is confidential, so sharing a reference image.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n And in case you\u2019re wondering, we use Microsoft products for email and video conferencing with remote team members and clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 to 9:20 am<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the first official meeting of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Led by the project manager, we quickly discuss today\u2019s tasks, technical difficulties and project timeline & progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The agenda of the quick 20-minute meeting is to keep every team member on the same page and get their technical doubts solved if they have any. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And since we follow the agile methodology, we call it a scrum meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By the way, scrum is an agile framework in which we break large project tasks into smaller pieces to quickly achieve the target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If our clients are available, they also virtually join the meeting as we\u2019re always eager to know their feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 9:30 to 11:30 am<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I finally do the task that makes me happy. Yes, I write code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I generally have to write code for healthcare IT products such as telemedicine, appointment booking, patient monitoring, EHR, clinical collaboration, chatbot etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 11:30 am to 12:30 pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No. I am not exhausted from writing code. But it is time for lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I and other team members visit the nearest cafe or restaurant for a quick lunch. There are several Asian, Mexican, Japanese food points around our office including McDonald\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But my most favourite is Mary Brown’s Chicken & Taters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If time permits, CEO also joins us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He always tries to go beyond his position and spends time with team members. It is a joy listening to his Canadian healthcare IT experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He shares innovative ideas and the future of healthcare IT. And the best part is, he is around my age. Thus, I feel so comfortable talking to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I also saw many of our clients become friends with him! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 12:30 to 3 pm<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back to the desk and back to the most beautiful part of my life – coding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 to 3:30 pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another meeting, but this time it is with a team of compliance specialists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Healthcare is a highly regulated industry as it is a soft target for hackers. Both federal and provincial governments have imposed data privacy laws which we also have to take into account while building a healthcare app or software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A team of compliance specialists makes us aware of different technical regulations and different ways to technically address each regulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They also present the report of privacy gap analysis and ask for the development team\u2019s plan to fill those privacy gaps of the healthcare IT platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, they play a very important role. Without them, we can\u2019t build a compliant healthcare app and our clients would suffer a big fine from the privacy commissioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, such things never happen at SyS Creations as we prioritize healthcare compliance over everything! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:30 to 4:45<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Trust me. This is something rare to find in an IT company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I can literally sit beside the senior developers to learn what the development and healthcare technologies they are working on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I can disturb them by asking questions as much as I want. It is a knowledge-sharing session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the company believes in growing together with teams. Not a single team member should leave behind when it comes to skills and knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love this place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 5:40 pm<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n After reaching home, I hit the gym in my neighbourhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 7 pm<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have dinner with my family at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 8 to 10 pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I nowadays learn AI and machine learning technologies from Udemy to make healthcare more personalized and accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did I mention the company provides me free access to Udemy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, SyS Creations never fails to surprise its team and healthcare clients by delivering more than expected!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello \ud83d\ude42 I am 25 years old Canadian working as a backend developer at SyS Creations and this is the blog where I will try to explain (with words & images) how I spend my day and how we execute healthcare development projects at SyS Creations.\u00a0 Friday, Burlington, Ontario 6:30 am\u00a0 Like most Canadians, I […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":27576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/5J-5taLPEfqAFEt0NVbfCv4fNnzVdWzj1uVvjuaHmYejstjGeT0uQUuTGEHe5RMbY39_Hplet8PP38Ntq9jb1xR3Llc5tYfJivlSVG89Oz8af7uY_6WH7D2wY2JlEVhQ3Yp3uR27\")
