I build things that have to work.
Ten years in clinical work. AI infrastructure after hours. Sometimes a stage.
Trainer, builder, maker — I work where systems meet real people and failure has consequences. This is what I've shipped.
Background
How I work
Ten-plus years in healthcare: ICU clinical work, clinical informatics, and five years training providers on Epic. I build the layer between an AI model and a real clinical workflow — designed to assume failure, surface uncertainty, and keep a human in the loop. The hard part was never capability; it's judgment, auditability, and shipping something that survives real use.
