AI strategy, cloud research platforms, and engineering standards for clinical trials, grounded in biostatistics and 15+ years of R.

About

🧠 Head of Applied Intelligence at the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium, where I own our AI strategy and the cloud research platform behind it, and lead the organization through safe, effective LLM adoption

🏗️ Building open-source clinical trial systems (EDC, eTMF, randomization, biobanking, safety) with 21 CFR Part 11 controls enforced in the database, and agentic coding workflows that hold up in regulated environments

🎓 Trained biostatistician and epidemiologist (ScD, Harvard)

📕 Co-author of Causal Inference in R (CRC Press)
