June 29, 2011 - PRLog -- DALLAS - KaiNexus, a web-based software company that makes improvement easier for healthcare organizations, announced today the addition of Steve Good to their senior technical team, joining the company as Principal Architect.

Good has been developing web-based applications since 1999.  Prior to joining KaiNexus, Good’s experience has ranged from telecommunications and offline analytics to online tax preparation and advanced foreclosure workflows.  Good has also been developing applications with Flex and Adobe® AIR® and integrating them with ColdFusion MarkUp (CFML) back ends since 2007. In addition to developing software, Good is a regular speaker at both the DFW CFML user group and the DFW Groovy & Grails user group.  He is also involved in a number of open source projects both as a contributor and as lead developer.

“The decision to join KaiNexus was less technology driven and more philosophical,” said Good. “What ultimately attracted me to KaiNexus was the opportunity to leave a lasting, positive mark on the world.” Good added he is “extremely excited to be working on a project that not only utilizes cutting edge technologies like Grails and Flex, but puts these tools in a position to radically change the face of healthcare for the better.”

“Steve brings a breadth and depth of expertise to KaiNexus that will help us not only achieve our short term goals, but will also help us expand and enhance our current product offerings well into the future,” said Matt Paliulis, co-founder and CTO of KaiNexus. “I am extremely pleased to have Steve join the team.”

In recent weeks, KaiNexus has announced a new beta customer, UNC Health Care System, and announced that noted lean healthcare expert Mark Graban has joined the KaiNexus team as Chief Improvement Officer. For more KaiNexus news, visit http://kainexus.com/NEWS.html.
