Alum's career from software engineer to health-tech leader

Waterloo Engineering alum Doug Kavanagh (BSE ’06, software engineering) is the medical director of OceanMD, a health-tech company he co-founded in 2012 to improve clinical workflows. Today, more than 50,000 health-care professionals across Canada use the company’s platform.

Kavanagh was part of the Faculty’s inaugural software engineering cohort. He then went on to complete his medical training with the goal of developing tools to better connect health-care patients and practitioners.
