Charleston, South Carolina Metropolitan Area
Healthcare AI engineer specializing in clinical machine learning, predictive modeling, and agent-based automation. I build production-ready systems that turn complex clinical data into actionable tools used by physicians and operational teams. My work spans feature engineering, model development, evaluation, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration with clinicians, data engineers, and research scientists.I bring a strong working understanding of clinical concepts, care pathways, and real-world medical workflows, developed through years of close collaboration with providers as well as long-term exposure to complex care environments. This background helps me design models that reflect how clinicians interpret data, how risk is assessed at the bedside, and how AI tools must function within safety and operational constraints. Recent work includes: - Building end-to-end patient deterioration prediction pipelines (Python, BigQuery, XGBoost, SHAP) with robust data cleaning, median imputation, explainability, and clinician-facing reporting. - Designing model requirement specifications outlining capabilities, constraints, safety considerations, integration pathways, and data needs for next-generation clinical AI systems - Developing systematic evaluation tooling for chatbots and agent-based systems to assess reasoning quality, safety behavior, and multimodal performance - Authoring methods sections for ML research manuscripts, translating experimental setups, model behavior, and evaluation procedures into reproducible documentation - Constructing Google ADK agent pipelines to automate multi-step reasoning, healthcare tasks, and cross-system interactions My work emphasizes safety, interpretability, and deployment feasibility, ensuring models integrate effectively with clinical teams and align with regulatory and operational expectations.Before transitioning into AI engineering, I spent over a decade in search engine optimization, developing deep expertise in search systems, experimentation, and content architecture. This combination of clinical literacy, applied machine learning, and search systems knowledge allows me to deliver both ML engineering and technical SEO consulting.Open to contract and consulting opportunities in AI engineering, applied ML, agent workflow development, ML documentation, and SEO strategy.
