The problem

A weighted scoring tool for prioritizing claims by their denial reason codes (CARC/RARC) existed only as a console application — useful, but not something other services or teams could call.

What I built

I converted it into a FastAPI web service with clean request/response models, then packaged it as an enterprise proof of concept with Docker Compose orchestrating the API alongside its dependencies. The scoring logic was preserved exactly; the work was in exposing it cleanly and making it deployable.

Notes

This project was also where I deliberately slowed down to understand Docker line by line rather than copy-pasting a working Dockerfile. The result is a service that starts with one command and behaves the same on any machine.
