History – Systems I've Lived In
TL;DR history: Remote triage & documentation • Emergency & rehab environments • Embedded & creative systems • Biological systems experiments
Systems-first view of my work across remote triage, emergency and rehab environments, experimental hardware, and real-world systems outside of healthcare.
Clinical Workflow & Documentation Systems
Most of my recent work has been inside remote and ambulatory clinical workflows, especially nurse-led triage programs and ongoing care management models.
- Mapped nurse workflows for remote triage and chronic care, clarifying decision lanes and escalation paths.
- Worked directly inside EMR/EHR documentation systems, building smart phrases, checklists, and structured templates to reduce rework.
- Helped surface friction points between nurses, providers, and admin teams where information or responsibility was "owned by nobody."
- Observed how poorly aligned workflows amplify burnout even when tools are technically "working as designed."
Emergency, Rehab, and High-Acuity Environments
Before remote work, I spent years in acute and post-acute settings. That work shaped how I think about failure modes, handoffs, and cognitive load when things are not stable or predictable.
- Experienced the impact of unclear lanes during code situations, rapid response dynamics, and high-stress transitions of care.
- Worked in rehabilitation environments where progress depends on consistent, reliable communication between nursing, therapy, and physicians.
- Learned how small changes in documentation or workflow geometry can dramatically change how safe and supported staff feel.
Embedded / Experimental Systems & Creative Infrastructure
In parallel with clinical work, I've built and experimented with small, real-world systems: from embedded-style prototypes to creative and ecommerce infrastructure. Those projects inform how I think about constraints, feedback loops, and interfaces.
- Designed and tested small, resilience-focused systems with clear inputs, outputs, safety behaviors, and state transitions.
- Engineered biological system prototypes including hydroponics, aquaponics, nutrient-flow control, and regenerative garden environments.
- Built and iterated creative and ecommerce infrastructure, including automation, content workflows, and customer-facing experiences.
- Used photography, macro videography, and visual storytelling as a way to understand attention, perception, and signal design.
