Skills

I can provide design input for product development plus feedback from the field to engineering. I can mediate between physicians and technical professionals, as I know the specific needs, jargon and mentality of both. I am able to train physicians, as they accept hints more easily from colleagues, and maintain connection to clinical end-users. On the other hand I can plan, organize and supervise complex projects involving numerous inside and outside people from inception to first customer shipment of product on an aggressive schedule, while still paying attention to details. I have hands-on experience in business process modeling, functional analysis, system architecture, data modeling, user interface design, pre-dev projects, enterprise-wide integration, and migration of legacy systems. I have demonstrated ability to work across time zones and remotely from office maintaining high efficiency.
