it × ai × life · 20 years of building the systems that move healthcare data

when your 834 enrollment file breaks at 3 AM, someone has to fix it. i’ve been that someone for 20 years. now i write about it.

Java, MuleSoft, Kafka, EDI, FHIR, React, Swift — i’ve touched every layer of the healthcare data stack. from X12 transactions to FHIR R5 APIs, from batch EDI processing to real-time event streaming.

currently focused on the intersection of healthcare interoperability and AI — helping organizations navigate the CMS Prior Authorization mandate (January 2027) and modernize their integration architecture.

what i write about

  • 🔥 war stories from 20 years in the trenches
  • 🧠 it × ai × life — where the industry is heading
  • 📐 visual explainers that make complex systems simple
  • 🛠️ tools, workflows, and the builder’s journal
  • 🌶️ hot takes the industry needs to hear
