Evidence behind the work

Education, certifications, publications, patents, talks, and awards.

Architecture is credible when it is backed by systems delivered, methods tested, and ideas other people can inspect. This page is the concise record; the CV, publications, and patents pages provide more detail.

Architecture evidence

  • Enterprise delivery: governed healthcare data and ML foundations spanning clinical, workforce, finance, scheduling, and external systems.
  • Production intelligence: probabilistic demand forecasting across 45 clinics and industrial ML for semiconductor laser maintenance and control.
  • Technical leadership: enterprise program direction at ConvenientMD and algorithm strategy for advanced predictive modeling at Superscript.
  • Engagement leadership: client acquisition, SOW development, volunteer-team recruitment, client and team management, and delivery through Statistics Without Borders.
  • Consulting delivery: repeated work from ambiguous idea and problem framing through architecture, model development, evaluation, and production-oriented product delivery.
  • External validation: four pending U.S. patent applications, peer-reviewed statistical and clinical research, and invited industry talks.
