Leadership & Impact
Leadership
Data Integration & Governance
I have led initiatives involving HL7, FHIR, CCD, X12, and proprietary source systems,
establishing common canonical data models that support interoperability, analytics,
regulatory compliance, and population health reporting.
Much of my work has involved transforming fragmented healthcare data into trusted, interoperable information assets. This includes data mapping, ETL pipelines, terminology harmonization, normalization, governance, and quality controls across clinical, claims, laboratory, and public health datasets.
LEAP Grant — HHS
Led the development of a FHIR Server on AWS and Google Cloud for the Department
of Health and Human Services, enabling population-scale analytics.
Population Health
Directed the creation of bulk data FHIR servers and secure APIs for Fortune 500
healthcare organizations.
Biotechnology
Collaborated with Benchling to design and implement the first
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) functionality in their
Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) platform.
Developed a company-wide bioinformatics system integrating over 20 disparate
CRISPR research initiatives into a single data platform for unified analysis and reporting.
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation
Worked with the NIH Human Microbiome Project and over 20 researchers worldwide
to develop a database and portal for microbiome sequencing data (NGS).
Big Data & Integration
Electronic Health Records
Integrated 400 million PHI JSON records into Google Cloud and AWS,
supporting HL7/FHIR interoperability across heterogeneous healthcare systems.
Genomics
Built a high-performance computing platform managing 20 TB of NGS sequencing
data collected globally across research institutions.
Epidemiology
Developed a web service and data warehouse containing 6 million patient profiles
aggregated from diverse government health systems.
Regulatory Compliance

About
Aviation
My interest in science and systems began in aviation. I started flying at sixteen and later earned a commercial and instrument-rated pilot's license while attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, where I completed an Associate's degree in Air Science.
Aviation taught me disciplined systems thinking, situational awareness, and the importance of reliability under pressure — principles that continue to shape my approach to architecture and engineering.
Computer Science & Engineering
I then pursued a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of New Hampshire, establishing the technical foundation for a career spanning aerospace, internet infrastructure, biotechnology, and healthcare.
I later earned a Master of Science in Computer Information Systems from Boston University while working in aerospace and defense engineering.
Aerospace & Defense
My professional career began at Lockheed-Martin, where I worked on mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. That experience reinforced a strong focus on reliability, integration, and large-scale systems engineering.
Career Focus
My early career focused on internet infrastructure, distributed applications, and enterprise integration platforms. Over the past decade, my work has increasingly centered on healthcare interoperability, genomics, and population-scale analytics.
I have contributed to interoperability and bioinformatics initiatives involving organizations such as Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard School of Public Health, IBM, Aetna, Editas Medicine, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
To strengthen my understanding of the science behind the systems, I also completed a graduate certificate in Life Sciences through Boston University School of Medicine.
Across aviation, defense, internet services, biotechnology, and healthcare, the common thread has remained the same: designing reliable systems that help people make better decisions using complex data.
Personal Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy biking, hiking, sailing, skiing, and racket sports. The same qualities that draw me to engineering — curiosity, adaptability, and continuous learning — shape my interests outside of technology as well.
