The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is an open science community focused on analyzing patient-level data from many clinical centers to reveal patterns in COVID-19 patients. To create N3C, the community had to overcome technical, regulatory, policy, and governance barriers to sharing patient-level clinical data. In less than 2 months, we developed solutions to acquire and harmonize data across organizations and created a secure data environment to enable transparent and reproducible collaborative research.I provide expertise in research informatics, the OHDSI tech stack, code sets (aka, concept sets or value sets), and visual analytics to the core infrastructure team and the Social Determinants of Health and Sleep domain teams.

Worked with DoD TRICARE data warehouse of 12 million patient medical records. Developed novel information visualization methods for discovering clinical patterns across thousands of timelines of longitudinal patient data. Wrote research proposals and results for academic publications and grant funding. Provided informatics expertise on managing data mining applications using various medical coding systems and classifications, such as ICD-9-CM, RxNorm, AHFS, FirstDataBank NDDF, LOINC, MedDRA, UMLS. Was Principal Investigator on $100,000 external research grant collaborating with Ben Shneiderman and others of the University of Maryland’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab through in developing novel methods for temporal summary and visualization of drug exposure and medical event data: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/eventflow/. Presented innovative work on the representation and comprehension of complex drug utilization patterns in prescription and dispensing dispensing data: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/sharp/workshop2011/speakers.html

New York, New York, Us

Worked with researchers, neonatologists and administrators at the New York Presbyterian Hospital Regional Perinatal Centers (RPC) on quality assurance and research applications using neonatal intensive care unit data. The RPC has New York State-mandated data oversight responsibilities for 15 NICUs around New York City. Projects involved collection of data from multiple sources, including New York State’s Perinatal Database System, New York City’s and New York State’s electronic birth certificates, Vermont Oxford, and the NICUs themselves. Projects also involved data cleanup, analysis, and experiment design and execution. Experiments were designed for the purpose of improving data quality. Designed and built a highly interactive intranet, major gifts reporting platform and group communication system aiding 50 development professionals in raising $150 million per year.

As founder led all aspects of soliciting and executing contracts: identified opportunities, made cold calls, did technical sales, wrote proposals, gathered requirements, staffed projects, designed solutions, wrote use-cases, ERDs, wire frames, managed implementation, testing, delivery, client training. Managed significant projects for dozens of clients including UIUC/EvaluationOnline, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Imagine Media/Daily Radar, MortgageSelector, Trimark Securities, United States Geological Survey, Stats Inc., Fitch IBCA Duff & Phelps, McGraw-Hill, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, Illinois Math and Science Academy, Music Browser Inc., Provena Covenant Medical Center, Psychics.com. Company grew from two employees in August 2008 to twenty two years later. Pixo (http://pixotech.com/) remains the leading web application development firm in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, providing services to many departments and offices of the University of Illinois and other local business and organizations.
