• Web Development & Maintenance: Assist in creating, updating, and optimizing websites and landing pages for the dental practice and related projects to improve user experience and lead generation.

• Process Streamlining: Shadow different departments (front desk, billing, clinical) to identify manual, "mundane" bottlenecks and engineer tech solutions to speed up their workflows.

• Core IT Support: Provide foundational technical support for the office, including troubleshooting hardware (PCs, tablets), local network connectivity, and dental software issues.

• Data & Compliance Integration: Ensure all automated workflows and web forms handle data securely and align with healthcare privacy standards (HIPAA).

• Day 30 (Audit & Learn): System Familiarization. You will learn our existing dental software, manage basic day-to-day IT support requests, and shadow office staff to map out which repetitive tasks are ripe for AI and automation.

• Day 60 (Build & Automate): Implementation. You will deploy your first set of workflow automations, begin assisting with website updates/creation, and independently handle standard office IT troubleshooting.

• Day 90 (Optimize & Transition): Full Integration. You will confidently manage our automation pipelines, oversee website performance, and present measurable ways your tech solutions saved the team time. At this milestone, a final evaluation will be conducted to discuss your transition into a permanent, full-time position.
