What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead enterprise imaging integrations and cloud VNA projects, collaborate with clinical teams, and drive scalable interoperability and migration efforts.

I am a healthcare imaging integrations analyst with deep expertise in enterprise imaging interoperability, DICOM workflows, and cloud VNA deployments. I have led large-scale PACS, RIS, VNA and EHR integrations, managed complex data migrations, and delivered interoperable imaging workflows across radiology and cardiology environments.

My background spans hands-on technical implementation, interface development with Mirth Connect, hybrid cloud architecture on Google Cloud Platform, and stakeholder-driven workflow optimization. I combine clinical collaboration, change management, and rigorous validation to deliver scalable, resilient imaging solutions.
