I am a senior member of IEEE and hold the Software Architecture Professional Certificate from the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I have been a reviewer for about 20 scientific journals.


Work experience

  • May 2022 - present, NewCo in stealth mode

  • Jan. 2020 - May 2022, Senior Director, Data Analytics and Software Engineering, Q-State Biosciences, Cambridge, MA

    • Led a group of computational neuroscientists, data scientists, software engineers, and database engineer to develop and maintain machine learning, data analysis, data processing pipelines, instrumentation control, and database functions and deploy analysis at scale in cloud. Implemented disciplined development processes in a startup environment.

  • Nov. 2018 - Jan. 2020, Senior Research Scientist, Philips Research NA, Cambridge, MA

    • Applied deep learning (CNN) on chest X-ray images for lung disease classification. Applied natural language processing (NLP) techniques and classical machine learning algorithms as well as deep learning models (MLP, LSTM, CNN, etc) to healthcare Q&R data.

  • Mar. 2018 - Nov. 2018, Software Architect, Siemens Healthineers, Flanders, NJ

    • Responsible for code clinics (to monitor and improve code quality using metrics), component testing framework as applied to an active project, and system simulation (to forecast system performance in new configurations). Led a team devoted to those responsibilities/activities, planned and delivered related user stories and tasks in agile settings. Personally implemented a simulation scheduler in the clinical chemistry analyzer. Also served as a product security technical lead on a DoD project.

  • June 1999 - Feb. 2018, Philips Healthcare, Cleveland, OH

    • Feb. 2013 - Feb 2018, Principal Scientist (Director level)/Lead Architect, AMI BU
      Technically and architecturally oversaw PET Recon & Imaging Physics, and PET Recon & Console subsystem(s); led the full lifecycle of subsystem development; reviewer and sign-off authority of many documents teams generated; owned/created the subsystem technology roadmap and led advanced development to retire technical and architectural risks; applied artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning, and data analytics to imaging and engineering problems; participated in the industry first digital PET/CT development (Vereos); mentored software leads, architects, subsystem engineers, and co-op students; served as the technical interface between software and physics teams.

    • May 2010 - Feb. 2013, Principal Scientist (Director level)/Lead Architect, ICAP BU

    • Mar. 2004 - Apr. 2010, Senior Staff Engineer (Engineer 5)/Lead Architect, Nuclear Medicine BU
