About

Background

I'm an application and integration developer, analyst, and pharmacist with a blend of clinical insight and full-stack development expertise. I design and deliver healthcare applications and integrations that streamline workflows and elevate patient care, spanning the full implementation lifecycle from discovery to deployment.

My work sits at the intersection of clinical practice and engineering — translating what clinicians need at the bedside into dependable systems that support clinical care.
