Physician · Clinical Data Scientist · Founder, Informedica LLC

I’m a physician with an MPH in Epidemiology & Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins and the founder of Informedica LLC, where I build evidence-synthesis and clinical-AI tooling. Before that I spent two years as a Clinical Data Scientist at the Institute for Health Metrics. My work sits at the intersection of clinical practice, evidence synthesis, and real-world data — designing RWE studies, building predictive models on EHR and claims, and translating findings for research and federal-grant audiences.
