• Agentic Workflow Design: Architect and implement autonomous AI agents that execute complex, multi step business logic.
• Technical Auditing & Traceability: Implement and maintain model and prompt versioning, monitoring, and auditing capabilities to ensure AI-driven processes are traceable and accountable.

Governance, Compliance & NIST Alignment

• Security by Design Frameworks: Translate the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) into actionable technical guardrails for AI systems and agents.
• Regulatory Safeguards: Architect compliant data flows that maintain 100% HIPAA and CLIA compliance, preventing sensitive data from leaking into public or third party LLM training sets.

Operational Transformation

• Offshore Knowledge Ingestion: Lead the technical knowledge transfer from legacy offshore codebases into MicroGenDX’s internal, AI augmented development environment.
• Strategic Prototyping: Rapidly build proof of concept (PoC) solutions to help the CTO demonstrate measurable ROI from AI initiatives to executive leadership.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including bioinformatics, IT, and software engineering, to ensure data and AI tools align with business needs.
