Current activities

I am a clinical informaticist (with roles in research, operations and education) and practicing primary care physician at Case Western Reserve University / The MetroHealth System in Cleveland, Ohio.

Previously, I completed a fellowship in clinical informatics at Case/MetroHealth and residency at the University of Vermont Medical Center. I received my MD and PhD in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I contribute to the development of several open source projects.
