Builder — AI Patient Advocate

Richard Scheipe

Senior Solutions Architect & AI Engineer — Mount Laurel, NJ

Twenty years building enterprise systems for the Department of Defense and Fortune 500 companies. Now applying that same engineering discipline to AI-native applications that solve problems with real human stakes — starting with Medicare.

Enterprise systems, federal scale

Two decades of shipping production systems in environments where failure has consequences — defense logistics, pharmaceutical sales, and Army-scale data migrations. That experience informs how AI Patient Advocate is built.

2007 — Present

Accenture Federal Services / Army Shared Services Center

Solutions Architect and Lead Developer on the Army Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) — one of the largest SAP implementations in U.S. government history. Built dozens of Oracle APEX web databases that became the operational backbone of the program. Led a 14-person development team. Spearheaded multiple large-scale data center migrations from on-premises to cloud. Most recently: SAST/Cybersecurity Lead using Fortify on active Army systems.

1995 — 2007

Delos Inc. / BancTec / Rhone-Poulenc / Aventis

Lead Developer and Technical Lead on projects for Merck, AstraZeneca, and Lockheed Martin. Designed and built physician-facing drug sales tools, project management systems, and repair-workflow platforms. Ported legacy systems to web-based architectures (ASP, Oracle, Crystal Reports). Early career: sales and marketing with Lincoln National Corporation.

"As a caregiver to a disabled Medicare beneficiary, we spend an enormous amount of time reviewing and adjudicating claims from many doctor visits. I built this to change that."

AI Patient Advocate was not built as a portfolio exercise. It was built to solve a specific, daily problem: a disabled Medicare beneficiary generating dozens of Explanation of Benefit records per year, each requiring manual review to catch billing errors, miscoded procedures, and wrongful denials.

The administrative burden of Medicare is enormous and falls hardest on the people least able to bear it. A beneficiary shouldn't need to understand CARC codes, 42 CFR citations, or the FHIR adjudication schema to protect themselves from a billing error. That's what the tool does.

The application is built to production standards from day one — because real people will use it, and accuracy in healthcare data is not negotiable. Every number on screen is traceable to its exact source field in the CMS data. Every calculation is verified against the raw API response. A CMS production access application has been submitted.

25 projects across four domains

Built in parallel with AI Patient Advocate — the same engineering discipline, different problem domains. Each project uses AI to remove friction from a high-value manual process.
