About Me
I am an early-career computer scientist specializing in data science, automation, and cloud-based data engineering. I am currently working in an independent position to deliver a scalable, HIPAA-compliant ETL pipeline. This solution integrates multi-sourced and multi-formatted EMR data into a standardized database schema using a script-driven command pattern enabled via polymorphic deserialization under the Azure Functions Isolated Worker Model.
My skills in ETL, data analytics, and workflow automation were first developed through brute-force methods made necessary by the realities of laboratory operations. Today, these self-taught foundations are backed by formal computer science education, professional experience, and an ever-growing full-stack approach.
In addition to automating database transactions from a LIMS and correcting years' worth of historical test data I also design analytical dashboards and build pipelines that extract actionable insight from this data. Whether reporting trended quality data or using data mining to identify trends in a sample cluster. My diverse background working in labs across a variety of industries fosters an intuitive understanding of lab data flows, allowing me to bridge the gap between scientific compliance and modern software engineering.

Experience
- Architecting and developing Azure-based ETL pipelines for the DentalWriterPlus project, utilizing an Isolated Worker model and polymorphic JSON schema mapping to migrate EMR data into Azure SQL databases.
- Implementing state management patterns and domain-driven design to ensure data integrity during complex ingestion cycles within medical and dental billing environments.
- Maintaining rigorous security standards and HIPAA compliance for cloud-based data systems and automated workflows.
- Managing technical version control and project structure via Git to support collaborative software development.
- Managed healthcare-related data for clinical specimens in a CLIA-regulated setting.
- Performed structured data entry and validation to maintain compliance with patient-data standards.
- Experience with HIPAA regulations.
- Developed Python scripts to automate data entry for a variety of laboratory instrumentation, reducing 1-2 hour manual data entry time for mass spec results to a 15 minute update cycle.
- Navigated an undocumented legacy database to map relationships where I identified a self-self dependency issue. Developed a parameter-table system to workaround the issue and generate Power BI-based longitudinal and batch-level quality metrics that previously required months of manual effort.
- Collaborated with chemists to correct and update LIMS workflows, ensuring accuracy of updates through pre-deployment testing.
- Maintained precise, GMP-compliant records supporting manufacturing batch release and regulatory inspections.
- Performed laboratory support and data entry workflows.
- Audited digital pathology metadata for accuracy and completeness in Phase I–III clinical trial datasets.
- Identified and documented data discrepancies to ensure the integrity of research-bound datasets.
