Joined as a data scientist drawn by the groundbreaking Archimedes Model, then transitioned into product management — leading the productization of the model through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's ARCHeS initiative.
Data Science Origins — Joined Archimedes after discovering a compelling article about their full-scale simulation model of human physiology, disease, and healthcare systems. First dedicated data science role.
Pfizer Engagement & Innovation — While working on a Pfizer project, began experimenting with a local copy of the simulation software and championed a new operating model that gave data scientists direct access to modify the UI layer.
Transition to Product Management — Recognized scalability challenges with the Visual Age SmallTalk-based platform (built by physicists). Presented a product architecture vision to the VP of Engineering and was offered a product management role — first foray into PM.
ARCHeS Productization (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) — Led the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded ARCHeS effort to productize the Archimedes Model as an online healthcare simulator, translating a research tool into an accessible decision-support platform.
