Bridging Healthcare Operations & AI

My unique value lies in combining deep operational knowledge of healthcare revenue cycles (8+ years) with advanced technical skills in AI quality engineering. From denial management to validating LLM outputs, I ensure that healthcare technologies are accurate, compliant, and operationally sound.

About Me

I am a Healthcare Operations & AI Quality Specialist passionate about the intersection of medicine and technology. My background spans hands-on medical billing, eligibility verification, and complex data validation, which now informs my work in AI training.

Currently, I serve as a contract Healthcare Operations AI Trainer at LinkedIn, where I act as a subject matter expert evaluating AI-generated healthcare administrative workflows. I thrive in environments that require deep technical analysis, rubric design, and strict adherence to privacy standards.

Whether it's building a full-stack dashboard or refining acceptance criteria for a machine learning model, I am dedicated to quality and compliance.
