Founder and CTO developing solutions to healthcare problems by using standard terminologies, healthcare models, and advanced algorithms. I work deeply with code, data, and processes across the software development and deployment life-cycle. Currently working on TermHub - an "Informatics-as-a-service" platform to support the easy creation and maintenance of "terminology-enabled" healthcare applications. Our goal is to make sure every user and every developer has frictionless access to exactly the healthcare terminologies they need, exactly when they need them, and at any required level of scale/performance.

Persona powers standards-based remote patient monitoring (RPM) to support the needs of clinicians everywhere for broader access to patient data. The majority of what contributes to a persons health exists and happens outside the "healthcare system". In order to effectively treat people (or train AI to suggest how to treat people) all of this external data needs to be gathered and aggregated alongside traditional healthcare data. To make this happen at scale, we need to do it right, do it with standards, and just make it work.

A skills-based group that will be integral to documenting and providing the governance around the Open Tooling Framework open source community. It will also be a regular forum for providing software developers involved in re-using or developing IHTSDO tools with the latest information and essential updates on the IHTSDO's software development practices and tools and services.

Niche Games is a side project to develop fun and interesting games to serve niche markets that are currently underserved in this way. As this is still a very small company, I work in many areas including creative, finance, and marketing. Our first project "Fun In The Oven"​ has launched and is now available in Amazon! See more info at http://funintheovengame.comWe've also now released a second generation of products based around some things created by our chief "parent" advisor Reno Fernandez. These are child education charts geared towards learning to count and read for small toddlers. We are currently developing other similar kinds of educational charts - all of which are available on Amazon as well.

Developing a platform for next-generation management of personal health data. We are focused on empowering patients with a cancer diagnosis to have complete control of their health data. To make the most of a challenging healthcare system, these patients must be able to gather health information from wherever it exists (and in any form) into a single place and to share it with whomever, whenever and wherever they want.
