Additionally, I lead JuliaHealth & am community manager for AlgebraicJulia while serving as co-admin for Google Summer of Code for #julialang.

For years, I've also been involved in @ohdsi.bsky.social and have lead health research efforts using various medical informatics methods.

Markian & I worked with Katy Sadowski to create small OMOP CDM patient databases.

We discussed a #workflow to generate 1 million patient DB that went from ~220GB to ~20GB -- ~90% data reduction!

Goal was to provide researchers more realistic & performant @duckdb.org DBs for health informatics. 📊🩺

My first time presenting on compositional public health outside a maths venue! Working on general slogans but we describe it as:

"Compositional public health empowers researchers to reclaim agency through abstraction in public health."

Time to run studies using AlgebraicJulia!

Her project is part of JuliaHealth and you can track progress for it here! It builds upon on Genie.jl -- a native dashboarding solution in #julialang!
