Belakangan banyak orang nanya ke gw, benernya kerjaanmu itu ngapain sih :D ? Yang nanya mulai dari orang yang cuman kenal online, sampe Shirley, my best female friend in Austin :D, hahaha. Shirley aja nanya, gimana yang laen :p Taruhan bokap nyokap gw gak tau gw kerja di perusahaan apa, hihihi :p
Most of the time I can not explain it clearly :p, sampai tadi pun pas harus ngirim resume buat apply permanent position, hiring managernya telpon gw nyuruh gw benerin section job desc gw yang sekarang, hahaha. *Yes, finally they say that they're willing to hire me permanently :)*
So, what am I actually working on? They call me "recipe writer/recipe author" Too bad it's not food recipe as you might have in mind. Stuff that so called recipe here is manufacturing work-flow in pharmaceutical / life science industry. Imagine that in order to make a drug there are a lot of highly-regulated processes involved, like: preparing equipments, making sure equipments are clean and sterile, making sure that the amount of ingredients is exactly as expected, mixing all the ingredients for a certain time, etc etc.
Those processes used to be done manually, but nowadays there are many automation system to help. However, since it is heavily regulated under FDA regulations, a lot of human validations are involved in those processes. For example, the sterilization or mixing are usually done by automation systems, but once it's being done, the system should get back to ask operator's signature to verify that the process is finished without having any problem.
So, the basic idea of what I am doing is like creating Visio diagrams that consists of automated and manual procedure, implement the diagrams using this product, and of course do pre/post-implementation stuffs like documentation and testing :)
Usually people who know my previous background will ask, how much programming involves in that area? What's the relation of this area with your Health Information Management background?
The answer of the first question. Not that much :) *big smile*, that's why I enjoy this job no matter how much complains me and my co-workers have. If you are a hardcore programmer like my dear son I bet you will hate this job, with all of its limitation outside programming. But if you are not hardcore programmer like me *wink-wink*, this job is way better than hundreds of arrays, pointers, methods, and those object-oriented nightmares, hahaha. Of course you can't be a wizard as if you are a master of C with its pointers (sigh. this sentence belongs to somebody). Well, you still need to know the basic of algorithm and programming, lil of this and that like web services, database, reporting, HTML, XML. But it's all right for me. I know a lil bit of every of those stuffs, but not in detail :)
So, here I am, the recipe author. I am way from good, still a beginner, still learning. Anyway wish me luck with my transfer ya :)
