Transforming complex data into actionable healthcare insights — through dashboards, models, and AI-powered tools built for the people making decisions.
Analytical and meticulous data professional with a background in computational physics and a passion for building tools that turn complex information into actionable insights.
I bring a research-driven mindset to supply chain and healthcare analytics — combining statistical programming with full-stack development to drive process automation and better business decisions. My experience spans large-scale data analysis at UT Southwestern, custom software for microscopy and contract review, and peer-reviewed research in Astrophysical Journal Letters and PLOS Biology. Recipient of the UO Weiser Physics Award for excellence in research.
Computational physics research, applied analytics, and now full-stack tools for healthcare operations.
Developed image analysis software for microscopy data. Co-authored peer-reviewed research published in PLOS Biology. Recipient of the UO Weiser Physics Award.
Co-authored research in microbial ecology and nuclear astrophysics.
Bacteria colonizing zebrafish guts initially adapt by improving their ability to immigrate from the environment into hosts, rather than by evolving in-gut survival traits.
Read on PLOS BiologyReview of how neutron-star observations — cooling, magnetic field decay, pulsar glitches, oscillations, merger precursors — constrain the nuclear symmetry energy.
Read on EPJ AX-ray observations of the Cassiopeia A neutron star's rapid temperature decline are used to constrain the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy.
Read on ApJLA flagship application and selected research software that show how I work end-to-end.
Developed image analysis software for microscopy data in the Parthasarathy Lab. Work contributed to peer-reviewed research published in PLOS Biology and was recognized with the UO Weiser Physics Award.
A custom-built item master that consolidates every product on local contract into a single searchable browser, paired with benchmarking and summary analytics for spend and utilization. Replaces fragmented lookups and manual reporting with one source of truth that powers faster contract decisions across the membership.
Loads a current contract and a proposed price file to surface every line-level price change, then joins live utilization from the Membership Item Master to generate a contract impact report — quantifying the dollar impact of a contract change before it's signed.
Solo-developed full-stack web app that automates the initial legal review of healthcare supply chain contracts. Standardizes risk detection against strict compliance templates and ships an automated draft-negotiation feature that enforces critical terms like Net 30 payment and FOB Destination shipping — cutting manual review time and bringing consistency to procurement.
