Background

About David Higgins

As a passionate and results-driven IT professional with 15+ years of experience, I thrive on transforming challenges into successful outcomes. My journey has taken me from systems engineering, web development to project management, with a focus on delivering innovative solutions in the healthcare sector. As a certified PRINCE2 Practitioner, I have a proven track record of managing projects valued up to $1.2m that have enhanced operational efficiency and improved patient care. Throughout my career at St Vincent's Health Australia, I have led diverse teams and tackled complex projects, including modernising legacy systems, implementing cutting-edge technology, and ensuring seamless transitions to cloud-based solutions. My expertise in stakeholder engagement and strategic planning has been instrumental in achieving significant milestones, such as the delivery of a $1.2 million X-Ray solution and a hemodynamic monitoring upgrade. I am also particularly proud of my role in the development of the national QR-Code COVID screening app, which became a vital tool during the pandemic, aiding in the safety of millions. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my recent upskilling in common web development languages and cloud platforms such as Azure and the Microsoft Power Platform, allowing me to stay at the forefront of technology trends. I am always eager to connect with fellow professionals and explore opportunities for collaboration.
