The Hybrid Professional.

My career didn't start in a text editor. It started in trauma centers and nuclear medicine departments, managing critical patient care and radiology compliance.

Lately, I have been building the future in Clinical Physics and Automation. I don't just manage radiation safety programs; I create the AI-driven architectures that automate them.

Currently serving as the Director of Radiation Safety Services at Landauer (Fluke Health Solutions).
