DevOps engineering leader building secure AI and cloud infrastructure for breakthrough science.
I've spent more than fifteen years in IT, starting on Mount Sinai's surgical care floors, moving through enterprise clinical systems, and landing in the cloud where I now lead DevOps engineering for a drug discovery biotech.
Today I lead the team behind Eikon's platform and AI infrastructure. I built our on prem LLM serving platform, which gives engineers and scientists access to models on research data that never leaves our network, and I designed the secure agent runtime that lets AI agents run on top of it.
My focus now is turning AI governance into controls the infrastructure enforces, not just policies people are asked to follow. I map principles from ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to technical controls such as approved and scanned agents, explicit access boundaries, logged model calls and agent handoffs, and the ability to revoke or stop any agent immediately.
I also care about what doesn't show up on dashboards, like the people I work with, the psychological safety that lets them ship with confidence, and the strategic calls made three quarters before anyone notices they were made.
Outside work I'm usually on a basketball court, lifting weights, tending to my chickens, or spending time with my family.
Leading the DevOps and platform team at a biotech that's applying super resolution microscopy and machine learning to drug discovery, and owning the AI platform that engineers and scientists build on.
Led the DevOps function across CI/CD, cloud, high performance computing, and secrets management for engineering and research teams.
Joined as founding DevOps hire. Helped to establish infrastructure patterns that scaled into a full engineering practice. Built a self service Windows imaging pipeline that cut microscope system provisioning from as long as two weeks to 30 minutes.
Moved from application specialization into systems engineering work for San Diego's largest integrated health network. Automated Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector deployment, updates, and rollback across enterprise data centers, and cut a recurring operational job from three hours to 20 minutes by running its tasks concurrently.
Worked with physicians and nurses to design Epic clinical workflows across Scripps' hospitals and clinics, and contributed to the HL7 integration of perinatal monitoring across four hospitals and fourteen clinics. During a company wide cyber incident, built a Python and pandas pipeline that processed cafeteria transactions across facilities and delivered payroll ready files automatically, preserving about $250,000 in revenue in one month.
Served as technical lead for clinical application implementations and upgrades at one of New York's flagship academic medical centers. Owned project plans, architecture diagrams, and testing before go live, coordinated vendors, configuration, and deployment, and trained and mentored junior analysts.
Implemented Vocera voice communications, integrating hospital telephony and nurse call systems with patient alert routing and escalation. Managed CareFusion specimen collection devices, mobile device management, laboratory workflows, Zebra network printers, and barcode device pairing, working with nurses on bedside workflows.
End user support for a New York tourism operator. Fast paced, high visibility, customer facing technology.
Where it began. A reminder that every system I now architect is, somewhere at the end of it, supporting real people.
I run vLLM in production today, and I'm going deeper on how serving engines work.
Fifteen certifications across Kubernetes, cloud, infrastructure as code, and foundational IT, each listed with its current status.
