Privacy and AI Governance – Nov 2022 to Mar 2025 Identify strategic and tactical directions for Privacy Engineering within IBM and prove concepts and products that can enable it. Identify opportunities to expand privacy and AI governance capabilities for the company and ensure analytics are available to ensure completeness for the solutions implemented Some project highlights Data Subject Rights Helped the team deliver the Data Subject Rights application to meet the Office of Privacy and Responsible Technologies on Cloud Pak for Business Automation as a Service. Worked on reigning in performance issues, as well as data subject rights automated consolidation of results from numerous systems to handle structured and unstructured data and highlight PI and incidental PI automatically for legal review. IBM Privacy and AI Management System (PIMS) Delivered the automatic feeds for all applications, software products, hardware, and services assets into PIMS (IGMS) system. The data enabled the registration of all assets containing controller privacy or AI related information so PIAA, ethics assessments, and inventory are quickly accessible by the business when required for regulatory reasons. IBM Data Policy and Consent Management ( DPCM ) Own the integration required for the DPCM Application in order to document consents given by persons on IBM Websites for privacy and consent for storage of PI for business purposes.
Work as a Solutions Architect for IBM Watson Health. Mentor engineering, data quality and data architect teams in transitioning from Informatica to Datastage multiple client accounts. This involved identifying education pathways, holding weekly meetings for a year, and guiding how to implement Data Vault within Datastage to successfully implement 3 MMIS Enterprise Data Warehouses ( EDW) and 1 All Payer Claims EDW. Technical Development Leader for Data Engineering Teams. While working on the account, I moved the Data Engineering team to Jira so we could get a handle on the work, and worked with the data architect closely in order to solve problems in the Oracle Exadata EDW, to load a 23 Billion record large-scale Enterprise Data Warehouse. Ensured the delivery of a full data catalog from business terms through ELT/ETL to the final reporting layer in Tableau I built a team and managed a shared Medical Reference Data set of assets for the projects using DataStage to utilize the numerous medical reference data that were needed in both the MMIS Systems as well as the All Payer Claims system This included AMA, AHA, LOINC, IBM Redbook and many many other sources. I interviewed the consultants hired, trained them in the processes we needed to implement and the project delivered on-time allowing multiple client accounts to on-board it once licensed to use the reference data.
Work in the new division for IBM Watson Health. Work on its Primary product, Watson Classroom, which was a K-12 teacher and administrator tool to help aid teachers to create custom learning plans for all of the students in their classroom, using a heuristic model for learning standards progressions, Cloud app using Mobile and Web. Required perform multiple tasks as needed for this new startup organization. Watson Classroom - Learning Standards. Work with the standards EdGate to take the Common Core and State standards for all of the client locations where Watson Classroom would be used. Design and integrate an automated way to bring in the learning standards, and keep them up to date. Bring in the cross-walks between different state standards. Watson Classroom - Learning Standard Progressions. Design and build the solution to bring in the professionally created learning standard progressions, from grade to grade and relationships between the in-grade standards for Common Core for Math, Science and English. Ensure these are linked with the learning standards ID's to ensure they can be referenced as learning standards are adopted at the various school district clients. Common Core cross-walks to Texas and Florida K-12 Learning standards. Use the Edgate standards retrieved and create python code, using string distance methods to identify cross-walks between learning standards in states that don't use common core, in order to utilize the common core progressions developed for the product. Design and create a microservices web application using Node/Express for school districts to select which Learning Standards are applicable to their district and de-select standards that are not.
