I thrive working at the intersection of science, data, and software.I am currently the Worldwide Startup Solutions Architect Lead for Healthcare and Life Sciences at AWS and am responsible for our global technical strategy & execution, team development, and customer success. We measure our success by how well we help our healthcare and life sciences startups innovate to improve patient care and accelerate science and medicine. Prior to focusing on startups, I was the AWS Global Partner Tech Lead for Healthcare and Life Sciences. At AWS, I have built two separate technical teams, helped customers bring new products to market, and pioneered new architectural patterns and practices on AWS, such as in genomics.Previously, I was the first technical employee at Human Longevity, Inc., a biotech startup delivering omics-guided healthcare solutions. I led our movement to derive meaning from genomics data. I built our first big-data genomic annotation solution, built multiple genomics reporting workflows to streamline downstream analyses, and served as a hybrid product owner/subject matter expert/developer on our Knowledgebase and data architecture teams.I received my Biomedical Sciences PhD in the McCammon lab at UCSD, where I leveraged structural bioinformatics to facilitate compound lead discovery and optimization. I graduated summa cum laude with a BS in Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. I am very passionate about living a healthy and active lifestyle.
