Clinical Research Scientist | Genetics & Genomics | 15 Peer-Reviewed Publications | Registry Data Management | Epic EMR

Profile Summary

If your research program needs someone who understands the data at a clinical and scientific level — not just a database technician — that is the distinction I bring. I am a clinical research scientist with five years of specialized experience in cardiac genetics and genomics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. I have co-authored 17 peer-reviewed publications in JACC, European Heart Journal, and Circulation — and I hold that publication standard as the benchmark for every consulting engagement I take on. Every deliverable I produce must be defensible under peer review. That is not a marketing statement. It is how I have worked for five years inside one of the most rigorous inherited cardiomyopathy research programs in the United States. I serve as scientific data lead for the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry (SHaRe) — a Harvard-supported international consortium spanning 12+ high-volume specialty centers across North America and Europe. I manage end-to-end governance of clinical, genetic, and imaging data for one of the largest inherited cardiomyopathy registries in the world. This is not theoretical expertise. It is operational, at scale, in a high-stakes scientific environment. What I offer consulting clients: Clinical Data Management & Governance -Design and implementation of data management frameworks for multi-center and longitudinal research programs. Full lifecycle data curation from acquisition through research-ready output. Cross-site consistency, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance built into every workflow. Genomics & Variant Classification Support -Variant classification per ACMG/AMP guidelines with active research experience in VUS reclassification and genotype-phenotype correlation. Genomics data curation for registry-based and translational research programs. Cardiac Imaging Data Pipelines -Full imaging workflow management — PACS retrieval, PowerShare acquisition, Horos DICOM deidentification and conversion. Multimodal cardiac data integration across echocardiography, cardiac MRI, ECG, and telemetry. AI-Assisted Clinical Tool Development -Python and LLM-directed development of clinical parsing and data extraction tools. Currently building a parsing tool designed to scale across 33,000+ patient records. Clinical domain expertise encoded directly into tool logic — not generic automation. Epic EMR & Registry Infrastructure -Epic Clinical Superuser with active SlicerDicer and Reporting Workbench experience. REDCap database design, survey deployment, and longitudinal data collection. Multi-center registry operations and cross-site data harmonization. Scientific Writing & Research Operations -Methods and results writing to peer-reviewed publication standards. IRB protocol development and regulatory compliance. Study design consultation, hypothesis development, and investigator mentorship. My clients: -Academic research programs, NIH-funded investigator teams, life sciences and genomics organizations, precision medicine initiatives, and early-stage biotech companies building clinical data infrastructure. My standard: I do not produce work that requires a disclaimer. If your program needs a scientific partner who can speak fluently with your physicians, geneticists, bioinformaticians, and IRB simultaneously — and deliver work that holds up under scrutiny — that is exactly what I do. Available for short-term projects and ongoing engagements. Let's talk about your research program.
