My name is Brady and I’m a wanderer, registered nurse, certified geek, marathoner, and dog daddy to the loves of my life - Fifi and Sofi.
Who am I?
I’m based in Minnesota.
I’ve lived in 7 U.S. states, India, and Afghanistan.
I love to travel.
I love to meet people.
I love learning about new places, cultures, and [drool] food.
I have over 10 years of clinical and technical experience, a Masters in Nursing, and a Bachelors in Psychology.
I give out too many dog treats.
About Me
I am a clinical translator. I turn messy bedside realities into clean, actionable insights and architecture.
My background isn't a career ladder; it's a diverse toolkit. I’ve served as an Analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense and directed a 20-person analytics team as a Director at a major academic medical center. I’ve built a proprietary algorithm and licensed it to health systems and published research in multiple journals.
But I don't just theorize about workflows - I live them.
I’ve practiced as a Registered Nurse caring for acute, psychiatric, and geriatric populations. I maintain this clinical footprint to ensure my technical solutions - whether in HTML, Python, SQL, AWS, Azure, R, Power Platform, Tableau, Epic, PointClickCare [the list goes on] - aren't just code that compiles and applications that look pretty, but tools that actually work for the people caring for humans.
I bridge the gap between "It works on my screen" and "It works on the floor."
Informatics & Analytics
From the Battlefield to the Boardroom. I don't just analyze data; I build the architecture that makes it useful. My journey started as an analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense and scaled up to serving as a Director of Analytics, where I led a team of 20 FTEs and managed a portfolio of clinical, business, and data science programs. Along the way, I’ve developed a proprietary algorithm licensed to other health systems, wrangled SQL and Azure to build custom data pipelines from Epic, and turned messy KPI lists into clean, actionable insights using Power Platform and Power BI.
Clinical Nursing
Boots on the Ground. You can't fix a workflow if you don't know what it feels like to do it. I maintain an active practice as an RN. My clinical footprint spans from inpatient psychiatric units to long-term nursing care for Veterans. This isn't just a "past career" - it's my current reality. It helps me understands the "why" behind the "click," designing solutions that support the people saving lives and caring for humans.
Research
Publishing the Future. I sit at the intersection of inquiry and infrastructure. As a clinical researcher, I built technology that allowed oncologists to track leukemia and lymphoma staging. My work in quality and patient safety has been published in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety and presented at the American College of Surgeons. From investigating machine learning for diabetes care bundles to COVID risk factor analysis, I turn raw clinical questions into rigorous, data-driven answers. See my Lookbook.
