Senior Healthcare Integration Engineer • Systems Architect

Building reliable systems and creative worlds.

I’m a seasoned healthcare IT professional with over a decade of experience architecting, implementing, and managing mission-critical systems for some of the nation’s leading healthcare organizations. As a Sr. Technical Business Analyst and Data Engineer, I bridge complex technical requirements with business objectives, bringing deep expertise in healthcare data integration, systems engineering, and HIPAA-compliant solution design. My technical fluency spans the full spectrum of healthcare interoperability standards—including HL7, X12, and NCPDP—and I’m equally comfortable writing code, leading development teams, or collaborating with C-suite executives to advance strategic initiatives. As Managing Director of APEX IT Solutions, I built a thriving IT consulting practice focused on delivering tailored solutions for healthcare organizations navigating digital transformation. My career spans leadership roles at Deloitte Consulting, Envision Physician Services, Barrett Jackson Auctions, and TurningPoint Healthcare Solutions, where I've consistently delivered results by combining technical precision with pragmatic problem-solving. Whether managing an 11-person engineering team, implementing enterprise-wide integration engines, or designing secure data pipelines in Azure, I bring hands-on technical expertise and strategic vision in equal measure. Fluent in both English and Farsi, I've worked across diverse teams and cultures to deliver solutions that matter. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to improve healthcare delivery and operational efficiency. I believe the best solutions emerge from truly understanding both the technical landscape and the people who depend on these systems every day. When I'm not architecting data pipelines or troubleshooting integration challenges, you'll find me exploring new technologies and finding ways to make complex systems more elegant and accessible.

  • Tripquake & related projects – experimental heavy music and visuals.
  • Themed tracks – pieces like “Rise of the Machines” and “The Last Necromancer.”

AI Video & Story Worlds

  • Lovecraft-inspired visual narratives and cosmic horror sequences.
  • DewTok – my dog Andouille (“Dew”) with AI voiceovers and short-form comedy.
  • Experiments in motion, atmosphere, and narrative using tools like Luma and Pollo.
