The position is responsible for providing ongoing maintenance and support of GCP applications such as Document AI (DOC AI) and Google Chatbot for vital records MDHHS within our department. The DOC AI is a Google Cloud product that is used to scan paper marriage licenses, extract index information and images to FileNet and stored in a on-prem application called VERA. The Google Chatbot fields requests systematically from Michigan residents for the Division for Vital Records and Health Statistics within MDHHS. Thus reducing the amount of calls per customer service agent. Both of these applications are utilized by Vital Records MDHHS employees. Changes are being made to enhance the stability and functionality of the systems.The resource is integral to developing and maintaining MDHHS DOC AI and ChatBot solutions, streamlining critical business processes, data integrity, SEM/SUITE compliance, and securing the applications. The resource also performs as a technical lead and provides technical guidance to the other developers in the department. As a technical lead, the resource participates in a variety of analytical assignments that provide for the enhancement, integration, maintenance, and implementation of projects. The resource also provides technical oversight to developers in the team that support other critical applications . Not having a resource on staff will lead to MDHSS manually documenting and developing screen plans that can lead to errors causing data integrity issues and can eventually lead to incorrect information being processed and reporting of the patient information.
