## About

```text
At MedRhythms, I managed a six-person cross-stack team supporting two regulated neurorehabilitation products. I delivered three mobile releases a year, all on time, with regulatory risk reviews and HITRUST/HIPAA support.

I built OCR patient intake automation using AWS Lambda, Textract, and Salesforce Flow, reducing entry time from 30 to 5 minutes per form. I also reworked release planning and introduced rotating support coverage to protect sprint focus while keeping production issues owned.

Earlier at PTC (Kepware), I managed QA teams and contributed to test automation. I cut release regression testing from ten days to five and founded the Automation Guild; my background also includes C# and Python test automation.
