What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technical role designing and implementing data architectures and integrations, mentoring teams, and improving clinical or enterprise data visibility in a collaborative, mission-driven organization.

I am a seasoned data architect and senior developer with 30 years of experience designing, optimizing, and integrating databases and applications to streamline complex business processes. I specialize in consolidating data sources to give teams clearer, more useful insights and better decision-making capability.

My background includes 15 years supporting clinical trial management systems, building automated interfaces, administering HL7 integration, implementing SSO with Azure AD, and improving ETL performance by up to 500%. I am looking to apply my experience in a role where I can give people greater control of their data landscape while mentoring teams and driving technical improvements.
