I work at the intersection of large-scale digital infrastructure and public health — designing AI-driven systems that turn prediction into real-world care. Over nearly two decades, I've built consumer and healthcare platforms that operate reliably at national scale, from fulfillment serving hundreds of millions to AI for early disease detection in underserved communities.

My talks connect two worlds most people keep separate: the engineering discipline behind systems that can't fail, and the public-health opportunity in reaching people traditional systems miss. I speak on healthcare AI, last-mile and prescription delivery, reliable and observable systems, and safe AI agents at scale — grounded in production experience and peer-reviewed research, not slideware.

I'm an IEEE and Linux Foundation speaker, a peer reviewer for venues including AMIA, HICSS, and IEEE journals, and I mentor student teams and early-career engineers. My aim on stage is simple: leave the room with something they can build on.

Everyone has their niche in the world where they find the most joy and fulfillment. For me that has become Accessibility. Some of my experience comes from my personal ordeals I have gone through as I have steadily learned more about what makes my brain tick and what makes my joints throw a temper tantrum. My professional experience has helped me along the way because it is where I learned just how diverse the options were for accommodations, treatment, and more.

I was initially thrown into the deep end during my amazing journey with the American Printing House for the Blind's Internal IT department. I gained insight to some of the struggles caused when environments, processes, technology, and attitudes are not accessible. However, I also experienced great joy every time I managed to help make someone's day easier by helping them be more independent and confident in themselves. Since then, I have held many other Accessibility related roles and made it my mission to spread Accessibility awareness. I've done so through by improving Code Louisville's Accessibility policies and coursework as a mentor, speaking at domestic & international events, providing support online, and so much more. I plan to continue to do what I can for as long as I am able.
