As Director at Mycenaean and formerly Lead Programmer at Brown University's Center for Evidence Based Medicine, he has delivered and operated data-focused platforms using Ruby on Rails, Python, Java, MySQL and AWS. He combines hands-on engineering—CI/ops, Nginx, ELB, RDS and S3—with user training, documentation and stakeholder-facing responsibilities, bridging technical delivery and research needs. Prior roles in IT operations and SharePoint development sharpened his scripting and automation skills (Python, PowerShell, VBA) and practical systems troubleshooting.
