Testimonial

I have really enjoyed working with the Innolitics team. We had originally enquired about the Innolitics DICOM conformance statement consulting but expanded them to augment the data engineering team. They helped build out a complex ETL pipeline for AI/ML and helped build out accompanying SOPs for regulatory compliance. They treat our product as if it was their own and integrate seamlessly with our in-house engineering team. Their breadth of knowledge in technical and regulatory matters has helped our team meet deadlines.

Project Description

Biography

With extensive experience as a Lead Data Engineer and Engineering Manager in both the medical device and finance industries, I have developed a strong skill set in designing and implementing data ETL and machine learning pipelines. I hold a Ph.D. in Radiological Sciences from UT Southwestern Medical Center, and have a proven track record of driving results for my teams and organizations. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to improve the healthcare technology landscape, while also providing guidance and mentorship to my teams.

Challenges

• As an external consultant, I was concerned Innolitics may not be as invested in my product as full time employees. However, they treated the product as if it was their own and appeared indistinguishable from my full time staff.
• I was concerned about being exposed to high turnover but I was offered a consistent inventory of engineers throughout the project.
• I was worried Innolitics would disappear after the statement of work but they stayed on for an open ended engagement and helped with maintenance, additional features, and off-boarding to my own team.
• I was concerned about vendor lock-in but the code Innolitics developed was high quality and easy for my team to take over development and maintenance.
• I was worried Innolitics may not be able to deliver medical device quality code, however, they are were able to do so and help us create complaint SOPs for the rest of my team to follow.
