I lead regulated medical device software programs from requirements through release.

I've led medical device software programs at iRhythm, including 510(k) submissions and clinical tools supporting wearable cardiac monitoring and AI-assisted findings.

I managed 50+ critical dependencies across 15 functional groups and led 25+ distributed resources across the US, EU, and APAC through platform phase exits. I also built reporting frameworks and executive dashboards that improved program visibility.

Across NuVasive, Medtronic, and Minnetronix, I've delivered software and implantable-device programs from concept through commercial release, balancing technical scope, safety, quality, regulatory compliance, and delivery schedules.
