About
Two Pines Studio pairs a product leader and an engineer who have built and run software for states, health plans, health systems, and school districts. You work directly with both of us.
Co-founder · Product and project lead
Susie has 27 years of experience in population health management and is the founder and CEO of Care Directives. She has led platforms from concept to statewide deployment and works closely with health plans, health systems, HIEs, and Medi-Cal managed care. At Two Pines she leads scoping, product strategy, and delivery.
Co-founder · Directing engineer
Matt holds a PhD in Computer Science and directs the engineering team behind Care Directives, Health-Trac, DataMapIQ, and myDox. He oversees architecture, development, and security across every project, including data exchange registries, FHIR and HIE integrations, and the payload optimization that delivers care documents to EMS teams on weak cellular signal.
How we work
The people you meet are the people who do the work. Nothing is handed off to a junior team.
Security, privacy, and audit requirements shape the design. They aren’t added at the end.
Regular demos and updates in plain language, with honest estimates and early warnings.
Two founders, rooted in California, building things meant to last. Pines grow in hard ground and hold steady in wind. That’s the kind of software we like to make.
