About me

I'm a software, cloud, and data architect currently focused on modernizing healthcare platforms at NextGen Healthcare. My work includes API-first and event-driven architecture, data platform modernization, data governance, and building practical solutions for complex regulatory and operational requirements.

My background extends well beyond healthcare and data architecture, with experience across cloud computing, enterprise integration, distributed systems, application modernization, data engineering, mobile development, security, and software development. I've worked with organizations across the U.S. and internationally, in both the private and public sectors, spanning financial services, automotive, telecommunications, retail, logistics, media, government, utilities, and other enterprise environments.

Throughout my career, I've worked closely with engineering teams, business leaders, product organizations, and customers to turn complex requirements into scalable, maintainable, and practical solutions. I enjoy challenging problems where understanding the larger system is just as important as choosing the right technology.
