Physician and Computer Engineer

A physician with an education and work history in computer engineering. I consult MedTech startups with strategy, use cases, product direction and execution. I bring technical perspective to these strategies while helping companies achieve a high level of utility and product value from their development efforts. I help build valuable software and hardware products in the complex legal and operating environment of healthcare. My consulting typically falls into three categories: Leadership: I join leadership teams at different times in a company’s growth cycle to strengthen (or shore up) a company's strategy. My medical, technical, and patient experiences bring insight to strategy sessions that ultimately create products that help solve healthcare problems. Technical: My technical career started after finishing electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon. In four years I became a Design Engineer II at AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Today, I practice modern software development philosophies where I help companies transform the healthcare industry with technology. I work heavily in and around EHRs, medical data, and the interoperability challenges of the industry. I work at the strategy level as well as lead projects and teams during critical intervals. Clinical: After Tufts Medical School, I became knowledgeable in the Cures Act and its subsequent Interoperability Proposal as a basis for understanding the operating environment. I successfully led athenahealth through the 2015 Meaningful Use Certification. I continually translate medical processes into digital environments so companies build products that users need. I have an extensive medical patient background. With an undiagnosed illness (now well-controlled), I witnessed first-hand the complexities, waste and absurdities of our medical system. That experience provides me with perspective about the opportunity technology will play in the future of healthcare. My engagements and fees vary based on a project’s length and involvement. I joined Upwork in 2021 to gain exposure to more medical technology solutions that inspire me.
