IT/Data Nerd

Lengthy explanations,
functional solutions

I design, engineer, and tinker with web systems and databases that actually do things. Still working on creating thoughtful architecture, maintainable code, and interfaces that feel right.

About
Portrait

Engineer by necessity, architect by necessity, Tinkerer for funsies.

I'm a healthcare data engineering administrator with a deep appreciation for clean code and thorough documentation, with a side of sillyness. Over the years, I've built things from web-apps, data pipelines, to physical servers, driven by creating the "easy button".

When I'm not hiding behind the computer learning/tinkering/developing, you'll find me building small scale photovoltaic systems, fixing electronics, being a HAM-fisted HT Radio Operator, or constructing things out of wood.

209 Seroprevalence of Anti-SARS CoV-2 Nucleocapsid IgG in a Cohort of Healthcare Workers Over Nine Months

Contributed to data collection and automation discovering that Patient Facing(PF) HealthCareWorkers (HCW) were more likely that non-PF HCWs to seroconvert acquire COVID-19. Among PF HCWs, physicians and APPs were the least likely to seroconvert, and their seroconversion rate was similar to the non-PF HCWs.

32 Decay of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid IgG in Seropositive Health Care Workers Over Time

In a cohort of health care workers with mild to moderate COVID-19, anti-N IgG levels steadily decreased over 9 months from the initial positive IgG. The high rates of conversion to seronegative over a relatively short time frame illustrate why antibody-based testing must be interpreted cautiously when used as a definitive marker of prior COVID infection..
