Now

Thanks to Derek Sivers for the concept, and to my friend Dan Reardon for the push.

Since March, I have been providing full-stack analytical support for CHOP's COVID response; data collection/ingestion, curating an analytical data layer, and analysis and self-serve BI for end-users. Watch me and my colleagues break down the first several weeks at Chicago Lurie's Analytics Conference here.
(TL;DW? slides here)
Working with clinicians to build cohorts, metrics, and reporting to apply process improvement principles to patient care and hospital operations.
Redesigning and rebuilding enterprise Harm Prevention Program infrastructure (with dbt!) to enable analyst and stakeholder self-service, while building trust in the data we use to keep patients safe.

Building bulletproof ankles as I rehab my way back to (better!) running. Thoughts (and some geeking out) on running here.
Getting very familiar with my kettlebells and pull-up bar, while I wait for City Fitness to reopen.

51 books into my goal of 30 books this year. Thanks, lockdown.
