What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own production cloud pipelines and genomic/scientific software end-to-end—using rigorous data engineering, modeling, and dashboards to turn complex evidence into operational public-health decisions.

I’m a bioinformatics, data engineering, and scientific software leader who builds production surveillance systems for statewide public health. I lead and independently execute multidisciplinary initiatives that support epidemiology, laboratory, informatics, and executive stakeholders across Arizona.

I build and maintain cloud data pipelines and orchestration workflows—from reliable ELR ingestion to Snowflake consumption layers—while monitoring data quality and regulatory conformance. I also develop reproducible genomic epidemiology workflows (e.g., alignment, variant characterization, SNP analysis, and phylogenetic reconstruction) and deliver outbreak evidence through dashboards and tools for both investigators and decision-makers.

I founded a healthcare data consultancy and focus on end-to-end systems integration, workflow automation, and production analytics. In client work, I’ve recovered more than $20,000 in monthly revenue leakage and eliminated 40+ hours of monthly administrative work by automating and validating billing-reconciliation processes.
