About Alex Shepherd, doctor and software developer
The short version
ShepTech is a Melbourne software studio run by Alex Shepherd, a medical doctor and software developer. It builds medical education platforms, including exam preparation and OSCE practice, and clinical software for medical students, doctors in training, specialist educators and clinics across Australia.
Medicine
I'm a medical doctor. I build software for the parts of medicine I know first-hand: studying for exams, practising for OSCEs, and the billing and admin that surround clinical work.
Software
I build web platforms and iPhone apps: React and TypeScript for what users see, Firebase for accounts and data, Stripe for payments, Capacitor to ship web apps to the App Store, and Netlify or Firebase for hosting.
Why a doctor-developer
Most medical software is built by people who have never sat an OSCE or billed a Medicare item. I have, so I know what a good teaching case looks like, where the clinical detail matters, and which shortcuts busy doctors actually use.
It also means you don't spend the first month explaining medicine to your developer.
