Built by a Geospatial Engineer Who Spent 20 Years Mapping Where Care Fails
Generic data platforms weren't built for healthcare logistics. I built the geospatial command center that hospitals actually need to scale care to the home.
From Retail Analytics to the Healthcare Frontier
I built 1M+ analytic territories and 6 predictive platforms for companies like Apple, Walgreens, and Rite Aid — using geospatial intelligence to answer the question every retailer asks: "Where should we put the next store?"
Then healthcare companies started calling. They had the same question — but the stakes were lives, not sales. Home health agencies dispatching nurses from spreadsheets. Rural hospitals serving 5,000 square miles with 12 clinicians. EMS fleets parking ambulances based on tradition, not data.
I realized the same spatial intelligence that helps Walmart place a store could help a hospital position a nurse. But healthcare needed something retail never did: clinical matching, equity-aware routing, and AI that tells you when it's unsure.
So I built Variate Health. 343 engineering iterations. 25 API endpoints. 18 intelligence services. A platform that reads, reasons, and routes — and shows its work.
