01 / ABOUT
A technical perspective,
across disciplines.
My work sits where research questions meet working systems. I enjoy turning complex data into useful insights and building the infrastructure that makes those insights accessible.
My background combines information technology, big data, and healthcare. That mix shapes how I approach problems, from forecasting demand to developing software and working with connected devices.
