About
I am a PHYSICIAN & CLINICAL DATA ANALYST pursuing an M.S. in Health Care Analytics & IT at Carnegie Mellon’s Heinz College, on a Royal Thai Government (DDC) scholarship.
A vaccination record should answer three things wherever it is opened: what was given, which product and lot, and when. Making that reliably true — legible anywhere, verifiable, available to the next clinician — is the problem I want to work on.
I come at it from a travel clinic, where that record is also a document a border may ask for, and from outbreak investigation teams, where it sets how fast a response can move. A health system works when it is designed around the people using it at the point of care, and when its parts can talk to each other.
So far that has meant a guardrailed surveillance assistant for the DDC and clinical decision support for altitude risk. What I want to build toward is a national vaccine registry — interoperability, governance, and frameworks that hold up.
Looking for a Summer 2027 internship in health care analytics.
