I am a licensed clinician with ten years of experience at the intersection of clinical practice and healthcare technology, specializing in clinical informatics and laboratory systems. I implement and optimize EHRs (including VistA) and lab solutions to streamline clinical workflows and improve patient care.

In my current role as a medical laboratory technician and QC for LIMS at a tertiary hospital, I manage high-volume testing, oversee RT-qPCR molecular assays, operate IVD instrumentation, and use LIMS to track over 200 samples daily, driving a reported 25% increase in workflow efficiency while maintaining error-free documentation.

Previously, as a Clinical Application Specialist/Analyst, I led clinical process changes across ambulatory and inpatient settings, provided application support, training, and consultancy, and worked closely with stakeholders to integrate middleware and lab automation. I hold PMP and ITIL 4 certifications and apply HL7, HIPAA, ICD-10 knowledge along with JavaScript and Python to enhance data analysis and system optimization.
