Michael Kalish refactored the FHIR processing pipeline in the CDCgov/prime-reportstream repository, focusing on backend development and event-driven architecture using Java and Azure Functions. He redesigned the workflow to route reports directly from submissions to the FHIR converter, removing the legacy FHIR receiver and introducing a dedicated submission-conversion queue. This approach improved throughput, reduced latency, and simplified maintenance by streamlining the data path. Michael also enhanced event handling by queuing events for deferred transmission, which increased reliability and improved transaction management. His work demonstrated depth in code refactoring and a strong understanding of FHIR and HL7 data integration challenges.

November 2024: Delivered a refactor of the FHIR processing pipeline and introduced improved event queuing in prime-reportstream. The new direct path sends reports from submissions to the FHIR converter, removed the legacy FHIR receiver, and adds a dedicated submission-conversion queue. Enhanced event handling queues events for later transmission, improving transaction management and system reliability. This work reduces latency and bottlenecks in FHIR conversion, simplifies maintenance, and strengthens end-to-end data delivery to downstream consumers.
