Lead discovery sessions with federal agency clients and internal stakeholders to understand data needs, evidence workflows, and existing system landscapes
Design end-to-end integration architectures connecting federal health IT systems, health information exchanges, and multi-channel evidence intake pipelines
Define scalable ingestion and normalization pipelines for clinical, administrative, and medical record data received across electronic, fax, paper, and portal channels
Develop technical specifications, data flow diagrams, and integration roadmaps for federal program environments
Design integration architectures that complement existing automated evidence request systems, ensuring coordinated multi-channel evidence collection without duplicate requests across electronic and manual retrieval channels
Implement and optimize data exchanges using HL7 FHIR R4, C-CDA, and other healthcare interoperability standards; design solutions aligned with eHealth Exchange, Carequality, and TEFCA frameworks
Architect AI/NLP-enabled document processing pipelines for medical record classification, extraction, and non-adjudicative summarization — with explicit source traceability requirements
Ensure compliance with federal security and privacy frameworks including FedRAMP, FISMA, and HIPAA across all integration components
Design and maintain integration touchpoints with federal case management and evidence repository systems, ensuring deliverables are consumable within existing agency workflows without requiring changes to agency-side infrastructure
Evaluate build vs. buy decisions and recommend appropriate technologies within FedRAMP-authorized cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government)
Collaborate with data and clinical teams to design performant data models that support analytics, reporting, and program performance monitoring
