Summary

I build systems that actually work in the most regulated and fragmented industry there is. I've spent four years as a core architect and leader on MyChart Central, an interoperability platform for MyChart, and Epic ID, the patient identity that powers it. Neither of these systems existed before I joined Epic. Today, MyChart Central and Epic ID are used by millions of patients at 346 organizations across all 50 states.
