Impact

I work at the intersection between science, technology and implementation, where I've managed $8.0M+ programs and worked with 12 countries.

I work at the intersection of science, technology and implementation, helping turn research breakthroughs and cutting-edge technologies into real-world solutions. Over the past decade, I've managed $8.0M+ programs and worked with 12 countries. I've led cross-disciplinary teams and orchestrated complex multi-organizational projects across 3 CDC Centers. I'm particularly excited about the potential of generative AI to help individual contributors and teams level up faster, enabling them to tackle complex scientific and informatics challenges.

Recent Achievement

Recently I led a pilot for a respiratory genomics surveillance system at largest hospital in northern Vietnam, Bach Mai Hospital—operational in less than 3 months with first H1N1 variant detection in the country.

Most recently, I led a pilot for a end-to-end respiratory genomics surveillance system in the largest hospital in northern Vietnam, Bach Mai Hospital. We got it operational in less than 3 months and detected the country's first H1N1 variant—proving that rapid deployment of advanced technologies is possible even in resource-limited settings.
