Critical operations
Infrastructure, continuity, security and integration as the foundation for uninterrupted care.
Healthcare technology is not an end in itself. It connects trusted data, clinical decisions and a better experience for people.
Working principleTechnology & AI in Healthcare
A practical perspective on connecting infrastructure, data, artificial intelligence and operations to improve clinical outcomes, efficiency and continuity across a 14-site healthcare network.
A connected practice
I work at the intersection of critical operations, data governance, interoperability and applied AI. The goal is simple: prioritize what genuinely improves how a healthcare organization operates.
Infrastructure, continuity, security and integration as the foundation for uninterrupted care.
Quality, traceability and analytics that turn information from a record into action.
Focused, measurable and governed use cases, always with an accountable human decision-maker.
Building capacity through people, governance structures, and the discipline to transition from project to operation.
Areas of expertise
From a stable platform to AI strategy, every domain reinforces the next.
Hybrid architecture, disaster recovery, Oracle, RHEL and cybersecurity for services that cannot stop.
Catalogs, lineage, quality and analytics that turn institutional data into trusted decisions.
HL7, FHIR, SNOMED CT, APIs and Mirth to connect clinical and administrative systems.
PRISMA, TrakCare, HealthConnect, IRIS and SAP supporting safer, coordinated care and operational continuity.
Clinical decision support, agents, automation and copilots focused on concrete care and operational challenges.
AI committee co-leadership, institutional policy design, portfolio prioritization, and the discipline to say "not yet" as often as "let's go."
Selected work
A selection of initiatives that reflect the kind of challenges I seek to solve: complex, critical and visibly impactful.
Stability, adoption and evolution of the clinical system that supports everyday care.
Pharmacological decision support through clinical rules, context and human oversight.
Pre-billing validation to reduce friction, late findings and avoidable denials.
A platform that connects governance, value measurement and data-driven decisions.
Institutional data catalog, lineage, quality rules and analytics on AWS Redshift and Power BI.
Clinical decision support with UC and CENIA — pharmacological rules, simulation and AI-assisted prescribing.
Governed AI experimentation with Claude Teams and Kiro IDE — empowering a 4-person AI team to design, build and ship on AWS.
Enterprise AI infrastructure — agents, knowledge bases, guardrails and model orchestration on AWS for healthcare use cases.
Teaching
Teaching keeps the focus on what matters and creates an active dialogue between institutional practice, standards and what comes next.
Clinical informatics, digital health and interoperability at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Since 2026.
HL7, FHIR, SNOMED CT and APIs explained through the real journey of clinical data from operations to decisions.
Kiro Immersion Day (30 people), Anthropic partnership training, and team enablement across 5 areas.
