Designing healthcare that works for the people who deliver it

Former ICU nurse. Product leader. This is a portfolio of the strategy, workflows, and product thinking behind healthcare technology built to work in the real world. I bring clinical fluency and strategic depth to the problem, then use generative AI to get from a rough idea to something tangible, fast.

About

Where clinical instinct meets product strategy

I'm a former ICU nurse turned product leader who works at the intersection of healthcare workflows, technology, and policy. I rely heavily on generative AI and rapid prototyping to get from a messy problem to a working concept quickly, and I bring a clinical perspective that most product leaders simply don't have.

The work I gravitate toward sits at that edge, where a hard problem needs someone who can think across clinical, technical, and business dimensions at once. Sometimes that's shaping product strategy or aligning executives. Sometimes it's standing up something new from scratch and figuring out the workflow as I go.

I'm particularly drawn to the intersection of operational data and care delivery. Visibility into patient flow, service-line performance, and referral patterns is what lets health organizations decide where to focus, and how to protect quality as margins tighten.

I've also built and mentored product teams along the way, developing product managers and product owners and creating a repeatable path into product leadership.

Clinical Roots, Product Instincts

ICU nursing shaped how I think about risk, urgency, and what matters at the point of care. Those instincts show up in every product decision I make.

AI-Native Builder

Generative AI is part of how I think, not just how I build. I use it to pressure-test ideas early, sketch working prototypes, and land on a sharper set of requirements before real engineering investment goes in. This site is a working example: designed and built with AI-assisted development, including Claude and v0.

Strategic Operator

I translate operational pain into roadmaps and align stakeholders across levels to get there. I've done this shaping strategy from the ground up and scaling it inside a large enterprise, and either way the outcomes need to be measurable and durable.

What I bring to the table

The areas where I do my best work, spanning product, strategy, and the clinical-technical intersection in between.

Product Strategy & Roadmapping

Defining what to build and why. That spans 0-to-1 roadmaps and portfolio-level calls, grounded in clinical and operational reality and informed by the data that shows where a health organization should grow and where it should pull back.

Interoperability & Data Strategy

Translating HL7, FHIR, and clinical data standards into product decisions that hold up in complex health system environments.

Clinical Workflow Translation

Bridging the gap between how care teams really work and what gets built. That means turning clinical context into requirements, user stories, and product decisions that hold up once they hit a real unit.

AI-Assisted Prototyping & Discovery

I prototype in days, not sprints. Rapid, AI-assisted mockups and proofs of concept let a team see and react to an idea before real engineering time gets committed to it, and that earlier feedback loop is often what keeps clinical accuracy intact.

Regulatory & Policy Navigation

Making sense of HIPAA, ONC requirements, CMS rules, and certification pathways early, so compliance doesn't blindside a team late in the build cycle.

Leadership & Team Development

Building people is part of how I scale a product organization, not separate from it. I've mentored product managers and product owners, and built a department from scratch that created a repeatable pipeline into product leadership.

Interoperability · Product

EMS-to-Hospital Data Intelligence

Shaped product strategy for connecting pre-hospital EMS data with hospital workflows at scale, building a shared integration layer between EMS agencies and health systems. In practice that meant near-real-time delivery of prehospital care records, automated patient matching across systems, outcomes feedback back to EMS crews, and operational intelligence that helps hospitals see incoming patient flow and service-line trends as they happen.

Enterprise EHR · Platform Leadership

Enterprise EHR Platform Strategy & Shared Capabilities

Led platform-level product strategy for a modular enterprise EHR, coordinating across nursing, pharmacy, physician, reporting, and interoperability domains. I owned the shared capabilities holding the platform together: authentication, authorization and RBAC, auditing, configuration, business rules, and core integrations. On top of that foundation, I drove nursing and allied health workflow design, including the Clinical Action Center, defined FHIR-based exchange and USCDI terminology strategy, and led two DEA/NCPDP-certified product builds from concept through certification.

AI Scribe & Ambient Documentation

Contributed to 0-to-1 product strategy for an AI ambient documentation platform, from roadmap through PLG launch. I defined the onboarding and activation approach and used LLMs to rapidly iterate on workflow templates and documentation structure, one of my earliest hands-on projects at the intersection of AI and clinical workflow.
