Applied AI / Technical leadership

I build AI products that solve real business problems.

I’m a Lead Data Scientist at Health Care Service Corporation, building AI products for clinical evidence extraction, risk-adjustment review, medical-record search, and quality review.

I combine hands-on development with technical leadership across architecture, evaluation, and delivery, and lead a team of data scientists reviewing enterprise AI systems. My background spans software engineering, foundational NLP for insurance risk analytics, and healthcare AI.

Open to senior, lead, and principal AI roles.

Where I can help

System design, evaluation, and delivery.

Get useful evidence out of difficult unstructured documents.

When the information your team needs is buried in PDFs, forms, tables, and long records.

I can build ingestion and extraction workflows that preserve context and connect findings to their sources, so people can inspect the evidence behind an answer.

Illustrative workflow
  1. Structure the inputPages, sections, tables
  2. Find the evidenceRelevant context + extraction
  3. Make it verifiableResults + source references

I choose context that preserves meaning and makes the extracted evidence verifiable.

Clinical evidence extraction

Many payer workflows involve reviewing medical records against different criteria. Long records and information spread across pages make it difficult to find the evidence each review requires. I designed a reusable product around that shared need, so reviewers can provide medical records and review instructions to get findings tailored to their task.

I conceived and built the product, led its AI architecture and evaluation approach, and partnered with engineering on the interface and delivery. It extracts evidence and connects findings to the source medical records.

Value to the teamReviewers receive a tailored summary and extracted findings linked to supporting passages, so they can locate pertinent evidence and verify it in the source medical record.

Clinical NLP · Retrieval · Evaluation

AI-assisted risk-adjustment review

Risk adjustment accounts for differences in members’ health needs when determining payments to health insurers. Reviewers need complete, accurate diagnosis information tied to the relevant date of service, with supporting evidence that can be verified in the medical record.

I designed and built an AI pipeline that identifies potentially risk-adjustable diagnoses, links them to visit dates and supporting evidence, and supports both targeted chart review and more efficient coding. I led the architecture, implementation, and evaluation end to end.

Value to the teamChart prioritization focuses human coding effort on records with potentially missed diagnoses. Coding support gives reviewers findings and source evidence they can inspect efficiently, while coders retain responsibility for coding decisions.

Supervised NLP · Annotation · Model development

Clinical evidence for HEDIS quality review

Health plan quality reviews need clinical evidence that may be missing from claims data. Reviewers examine medical records to locate measurements and documented care relevant to quality measures.

I developed models for diabetes-related evidence, including blood pressure, A1C, and eye exams. I also supported annotators and worked through model-training issues as the team modernized its training tooling.

Value to the teamHelps reviewers identify evidence relevant to care gaps and complete medical-record review more efficiently.

Technical leadership · Evaluation standards

Co-chair, Technical wing of Enterprise AI governance

As more teams build AI products, technical review needs to keep pace while remaining consistent and useful to the people delivering those systems.

My co-chair and I lead a team of data scientist reviewers responsible for technical review of AI use cases across the enterprise. I also develop guidance on evaluation and responsible AI development. The scope spans traditional machine learning, generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic systems.

Value to the teamHelps teams make informed technical decisions and build stronger evidence for the quality of their AI products.

Earlier foundations

Insurance NLP, analytics, and software engineering.

Verisk Analytics

Data Scientist · Insurance risk analytics

Built foundational NLP models to turn unstructured legal documents into information for insurance risk analysis. My work also included predictive modeling for loss-cost estimation and scenario analysis.

University of Chicago

Data Science Intern

Worked on fire-event prediction using satellite and geospatial data, including the challenges of learning from rare events.

Onco-care Analytics

Data Scientist Intern

Built data workflows and interactive analytics for oncology care, with simulation-based analysis of costs and risk-sharing scenarios.

I began in software engineering at Accenture and hold an MS in Management Information Systems from the University of Illinois Chicago.

How I work

I like learning the business.

I enjoy building relationships with the people doing the work and understanding the decisions they make. My experience spans healthcare AI and insurance risk analytics, with deep familiarity across payer workflows—from utilization management and claims to care management and underwriting.

I stay hands-on and lead delivery.

I lead architecture and development, collaborate closely with engineers, and build robust evaluations and monitoring into AI products. I also lead technical AI reviews, helping teams assess quality and make informed decisions about release readiness.
