What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead healthcare interoperability and integration work—translating complex requirements into secure FHIR/HL7/X12 solutions, partnering closely with engineering, and driving modernization that improves revenue cycle and care coordination.

I’m a strategic Senior Healthcare IT Business Analyst & Interoperability Architect with 20+ years of experience modernizing healthcare IT, transforming revenue cycle operations, and delivering enterprise system integrations. I translate complex clinical and business requirements into high-performance technical solutions, with deep expertise in FHIR, HL7, X12 EDI, and HIPAA-aligned compliance.

I’ve led and owned integration-driven initiatives end-to-end—requirements through SDLC execution—serving payer, provider, workers’ compensation, and HIE environments. From building FHIR resource mapping specifications and REST API workflows to designing secure data governance and stakeholder-aligned delivery, I act as a trusted liaison between business stakeholders and engineering teams.
