Experience
AI Solutions Architect & Engineer | BAM (bam.ai) | Remote
Dec 2025 – Present
AI-native revenue cycle management (RCM) platform automating eligibility, billing, and prior authorization for specialty practices.
- Architected and built BAM’s multichannel prior-authorization (PA) agent, routing each case across clearinghouse e-filing (Availity X12 278), a payer-portal browser agent (AWS Bedrock AgentCore), AI voice calls, and fax under a deterministic state machine with an append-only evidence ledger (360+ new tests).
- Led a live, BAA-covered pilot with a Texas ENT practice through go-live: resolved 82% of flagged prior-auth requests (56 of 68) in 13 days across 110+ payer calls to 9 payers.
- Built Switchboard, a hold-aware AI voice agent for payer calls (Python, FastAPI, Telnyx, Deepgram, OpenAI Realtime, Gemini Live): paid models stay idle through IVR and hold (54% of call time), for ~5x lower modeled cost per call than commercial voice-agent platforms.
- Designed the evaluation framework for voice and browser agents: a blind two-agent call lab with LLM-as-judge, A/B tests across 19 speech and LLM engines, and cost, latency, accuracy, and AI-disclosure regression gates.
- Integrated ModMed’s certified HL7 FHIR R4 API (SMART Backend Services, JWT client assertions, JWKS) and hardened Availity eligibility and PA integrations (X12 270/271, 278), merging ~13.6K lines to production (FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL, AWS Lambda).
- Defined BAM’s PHI guardrails for AI: PHI reaches only BAA-covered, zero-retention models (OpenAI, Vertex AI) while other models see redacted data; PHI-free logs and URLs; AES-256-GCM storage; a secrets vault with automated TOTP sign-in.
- Shipped a signed, MDM-deployed capture agent to 30 clinic workstations (56 releases), recording ~7,900 hours of consented workflow footage, and built the pipeline that mines it into PHI-redacted process maps and role specs (Gemini 2.5 Pro on Vertex AI, Claude, verifier agents).
- Translated observed clinic workflows into a ranked automation roadmap of 28 evidence-linked issues with minutes-saved estimates that set BAM’s build priorities.
- Prototyped BAM’s first desktop product in 10 days (Electron, React, Gemini) and shipped internal agents: a Slack footage “librarian,” a PR agent with Claude-critic quality gates, and a meeting-to-PR coding agent (Claude Code).
Head of AI Enablement (Consulting Engagement) | RepeatMD | Remote
Nov 2025 – Mar 2026
Membership, loyalty, and commerce platform for medical aesthetics practices.
- Owned the AI enablement roadmap for CX and platform operations: ran workflow discovery with support and onboarding teams, then shipped LLM applications, adoption plans, SOPs, and human-in-the-loop review patterns.
- Built the RepeatMD CX Agent (Next.js, TypeScript, OpenRouter tool calling): RAG over help-center and Notion content (pgvector) plus live Metabase and SQL data, embedded in the admin console as a Chrome side panel.
- Architected Platform Agent, a multi-model Python pipeline turning unstructured client inputs (PDFs, spreadsheets, images, Gong call transcripts) into structured app-build specs for ~15 client practices.
- Orchestrated 13 models (8 generation, 5 vision) via OpenRouter with routing and fallback, prompt caching, adaptive chunking, JSON repair, and 8-criterion QA scoring; added a 24-worker Gemini tax-code classifier (US and Canada).
