Travis Dayton
@travisdayton
Senior healthcare FHIR data architect specializing in secure Azure cloud platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare data architect with 10+ years designing secure data platforms and integrations on Azure and AWS in regulated life-sciences and healthcare environments. I bring a customer- and stakeholder-facing approach that turns ambiguous needs into implementable architecture.
As a Senior Data Architect at Bayer, I lead architecture and design meetings, produce functional design documents, architecture drawings, and data-flow diagrams, and guide engineers through deployment and delivery in Agile (Azure DevOps / Jira). I designed secure cloud data platforms and API-based integration patterns across Azure and AWS, including identity and access controls and network/security configuration for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP.
I also architected end-to-end healthcare data integrations at Andor Health for EHR, claims, and real-world evidence on a regulated (HIPAA) digital-health platform. I document interface specifications, data models, and validation protocols to support compliant ingestion and reporting—so teams can move from clinical data exchange to downstream analytics with confidence.
Earlier, I built multi-cloud integration and governance patterns in environments with strict compliance requirements (ITAR, DFARS, FAA) and authored data warehouse governance, security, and data-quality standards for regulatory compliance (NERC, FERC, CCPA, GDPR). I’m Azure Data Engineer certified (DP-203), TOGAF-aligned, and I actively support engineering efficiency through design/code review and AI-assisted engineering (Claude).
