Physical Address:

I am a practicing physician, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Clinical Informatics. My work is grounded in frontline clinical experience, where I have seen how fragmented workflows, documentation burden, and poorly aligned technology distract clinicians from patient care. I focus on workflow-first informatics—designing systems that support clinical judgment rather than compete with it.

In my roles as a Clinical IT Director and Physician Advisor, I lead and support system-level initiatives spanning clinical decision support, informatics governance, product launch validation and piloting, documentation improvement, EHR workflow optimization, and utilization-focused informatics. I work closely with clinicians, operational leaders, and governance teams to translate innovation into durable, real-world practice.

I am also deeply committed to education and mentorship, developing EHR workflow–based training and launching the first clinical informatics track for the internal medicine residency at my organization. I enjoy helping clinicians build fluency at the intersection of medicine, technology, and systems improvement.

At my core, I am a builder and translator—motivated by the belief that thoughtful application of data and technology can restore time, clarity, and meaning to clinical work while improving outcomes for patients and health systems.
