HOSQ is one of the clearest examples of the kind of software I enjoy building: practical, operationally useful, and designed around real people moving through a real system.
What HOSQ is
HOSQ is a hospital queue management system that helps patients, staff, and administrators stay aligned across the full patient journey. It supports self-service check-in, role-based dashboards, real-time queue updates, emergency priority handling, and email notifications pushed to patients at every queue transition.
Why it matters
Queue systems are easy to underestimate until they become the thing slowing everything else down. In environments like hospitals, visibility and prioritization matter. A queue is not just a list of waiting people. It is a workflow with urgency, handoffs, and operational pressure.
What stood out while working on it
- The patient flow had to stay simple and understandable
- Staff actions needed to match real roles and responsibilities
- Emergency flags had to change queue behavior immediately
- Real-time updates were essential so the system never felt stale
Stack snapshot
The project uses TypeScript on the frontend, Supabase for backend capabilities and real-time data, and a structure built around practical queue movement rather than generic admin tooling.

Why I wanted it in the portfolio
HOSQ belongs here because it reflects the kind of work I want more of: software that is useful, structured, and grounded in a real operational need instead of existing only as a demo.
