Healthcare Systems Architecture & Security

Bridging clinical systems, security, and the people who run them.

MITBridge is the advisory and managed-services practice of a senior healthcare systems architect — 25+ years keeping enterprise medical imaging running, integrated, and secure: from hands-on PACS operations to department-wide clinical archives and international greenfield hospital builds.

What I do

Four ways I plug into your team.

Senior, hands-on work — not a slide deck handed off to juniors. Engagements run from a one-off assessment to a standing monthly retainer.

01
Retainer · Queues · Interfaces

Remote PACS administration

Keep your imaging queues clean, your interfaces up, and your studies where they belong — a senior PACS admin on a monthly retainer, without carrying a full-time hire. Built for imaging centers and leaner facilities that own a PACS but have no one to run it.

02
DICOM · HL7 · VNA · PACS

Imaging architecture & migrations

Design, migrate, and rescue enterprise imaging archives and the interfaces that feed them. Get PACS, VNA, and downstream systems exchanging the right data reliably — and untangle it when they don't.

03
Devices · Risk · Segmentation

Medical-device & imaging security

A clinical-systems perspective on connected-device and imaging-network risk: inventory, exposure, and segmentation strategy that clinical and IT teams can act on — rooted in the biomedical bench and real hospital networks, not a generic checklist.

04
Strategy · Due diligence

Advisory & expert consultation

Short-form advisory for investors, vendors, and health systems: technical due diligence, product and market perspective, and a translator who's fluent on both the clinical and the IT side of the table.

Track record

A career spent where the systems — and the stakes — are hardest.

Foundations

Army biomedical equipment

Started at the bench — the hands-on grounding in medical devices that still shapes how I approach every system above them.

Federal health

VA — enterprise PACS leadership

Led imaging system work across facilities inside one of the largest integrated health systems in the country.

Enterprise delivery

Perot Systems / Dell

Delivering enterprise healthcare technology at scale for large provider organizations.

International

IBM Healthcare — greenfield abroad

Stood up imaging and integration for a flagship academic medical center and a national imaging-archive initiative in the Gulf — building from nothing, across languages, vendors, and cultures.

Current

DoD enterprise clinical imaging

Principal engineer on a department-wide clinical imaging archive — integration architecture, data-integrity investigations, and security across a program serving the entire enterprise.

How I work

Most failures happen in translation. That's the gap I close.

Human-centered

The best integration is invisible

I design around the clinical workflow first, then make the systems serve it — so the technology disappears and the work gets easier.

Bilingual by trade

Fluent on both sides

Clinical and IT, vendor and customer, domestic and international. I've spent a career standing in the gap between people who need to understand each other and don't yet.

Senior & discreet

The person who's done it

You get someone who has actually run the migrations, led the investigations, and sat with difficult stakeholders — working quietly alongside your leadership, not around it.

Let's talk

Have a system that needs to work — or a decision that needs a second set of eyes?

Tell me a little about the situation and what "good" looks like. I'll come back to you directly.
