I design software systems that prioritize safety, reliability, and interpretability to minimize the impact of misuse, abuse, and failure.
I design software systems that are prepared to deal with errors, misuse, and abuse in ways that minimize harm.
I'm a Software Systems Engineer and practicing Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in Critical Care and Emergency Medicine.
My work focuses on building scalable systems that are practical, robust, and reliable.
With an extensive background in high-stakes clinical environments, I am comfortable
operating under pressure and understand the complexities of real-world use.
Extensive real-world clinical experience has given me a deep understanding of risk, trust, and safety.
Now, I leverage this experience to design software systems that are intentionally built to streamline
workflows,
handle errors, and defend against cybersecurity threats.
Much of my work focuses on understanding risk and designing systems that mitigate potential harm.
