At Zocalo Health, I architected a 1.8 PB Azure Databricks and Snowflake lakehouse, reducing cloud infrastructure costs by 28%. I also re-engineered batch and real-time pipelines, bringing ICU telemetry latency from 15 minutes to under 3 seconds.

I built HL7-to-FHIR R4 ingestion pipelines across 14 hospital environments and helped standardize EHR and EMR data into the OMOP Common Data Model. I also developed a clinical RAG platform across 25M+ unstructured clinical records, reducing physician information-retrieval time by 42%.

Previously, at Talino Fintech Foundry, I engineered pipelines for 15M+ daily financial transactions and co-led the migration of 800+ TB of financial and accounting data. At Consulting Solutions, I worked on healthcare data ingestion and integration, including pipelines processing 500M+ monthly data points from 150+ healthcare providers.
