Focus Area

AI Strategy & Implementation

Leading enterprise AI adoption for a health system — balancing capability, cost, and data governance across on-prem and cloud AI infrastructure.

Why It Matters

AI in healthcare needs an operator, not just a vendor slide

Enterprise AI in a clinical setting isn't just a model choice — it's an infrastructure, governance, and change-management problem. The same discipline I bring to Epic and cloud infrastructure now extends to how our health system deploys AI safely and cost-effectively.

On-Prem Inference Capacity

Evaluating and standing up on-premises inference infrastructure for workloads where data residency, latency, or cost make cloud-only AI the wrong answer — sized and governed like any other critical system.

AWS Bedrock & Managed AI

Leveraging AWS Bedrock for managed foundation model access where cloud deployment fits — keeping model selection, cost, and security posture aligned with enterprise governance standards.

RAG & Knowledge Bases

Designing retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and Knowledge Bases that ground AI responses in an organization's own policies, clinical documentation, and operational data — not just a model's training data.

Agentic Workflows

Building agents that can take multi-step action across enterprise systems — with the guardrails, logging, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints a healthcare environment requires.

AI Governance & Risk

Extending the same IT governance and cybersecurity discipline used for Epic and cloud infrastructure to AI: data handling, model access controls, and audit trails for every AI-assisted decision.

Team Upskilling

Built an incentive program to upskill infrastructure and application teams on cloud and AI technologies — treating AI fluency as a core competency for the whole department, not a specialist silo.

Approach

How I think about enterprise AI

Most organizations' first instinct with AI is to chase the model. Mine is to start with the infrastructure and governance question: where does inference need to run, what data is it allowed to touch, and how do we prove that after the fact.

That means treating on-prem inference capacity as a real capacity-planning exercise, not an afterthought — and treating AWS Bedrock, RAG pipelines, and Knowledge Bases as production systems with the same change-control rigor as any other clinical application.

It also means building agentic workflows with the same caution I'd apply to any automation touching patient data: clear scope, logging, and a human checkpoint wherever the stakes are high.
