Professional Profile

Senior Healthcare Integration Engineer & Systems Architect

I design and modernize complex healthcare and data systems, with a focus on interoperability, stability, and long-term maintainability.

Summary

I’ve spent my career working where systems are messy, stakes are high, and failure isn’t an option. From healthcare platforms and clinical workflows to government and large-scale auction systems, I specialize in making data move reliably and safely.

I’m just as comfortable designing architectures and strategy as I am in the code and data, debugging a broken interface at 2 AM or mentoring a small team through a migration.
