Who I Am

Who’s behind the keyboard?

At Zotec Partners I own the unglamorous path: partner files land, get validated, move, and get audited. GoAnywhere, MOVEit, SFTP, HL7, SQL, logs. When a drop fails, I want a reason — not a mystery ticket.

Before that I did NLP and computational social science at Purdue, taught, and ran a student hacker club. The through-line is the same: messy real-world systems, made boring on purpose.

Public labs: file-transfer-pipeline and hl7-toolkit — sanitized versions of the work, with tests.

HL7 toolkit

HL7 parse and validate

Parse HL7 v2 to JSON. Reject missing MSH-10 or ADT/ORU without PID. Stable error codes so a bad message dies at the edge.
