Interventional Nephrology · Data Development
Clinical Lead Interventional Nephrologist at MRHT & TUH, Ireland — building clinical tools, dashboards, and AI-assisted systems where medicine meets data.
About
I am a Consultant Interventional Nephrologist and Clinical Lead at MRHT and Tallaght University Hospital, Ireland — with a decade of complex renal practice.
My clinical work spans tunnelled catheters, Permcaths, Vascaths, native and transplant biopsies, and point-of-care ultrasound. Alongside it I build data pipelines, dashboards, and AI-assisted tools in Python, R, Shiny, and Streamlit — turning messy health records into decisions.
Originally from Cusco, Peru, I also develop educational technology for schools back home — connecting clinical rigour with community impact.
Work
Clinical handover errors are a leading cause of adverse events. ISBAR structures critical communication between clinicians.
RoleDesigned a training module plus a conversational AI consult service for structured renal/acute handovers.
OutcomeStandardised handover language across the team; AI consult triage available on demand.
Keeping a nephrology department current with the literature is time-consuming and inconsistent.
RoleBuilt a literature-review tool with an ANKI card generator and interactive polls for grand rounds.
OutcomeFaster journal-club prep; spaced-repetition decks generated automatically from reviewed papers.
Dialysis unit quality depends on tracking adequacy, access infections, and hospitalisation trends in real time.
RoleBuilt an interactive R/Shiny dashboard pulling unit data into live KPI views.
OutcomeSingle source of truth for unit performance; supports audit and MDT review.
IgA glomerulonephritis patients eligible for novel trials are hard to identify from unstructured records.
RoleDesigned a structured clinical database tracking disease course, treatment response, and trial eligibility.
OutcomeRapid identification of trial-eligible patients; longitudinal phenotyping for QI.
Nephrology consults arrive ad hoc, making it hard to audit demand, response times, and outcomes.
RoleBuilt a consult-tracking system logging referrals, clinical questions, and resolution.
OutcomeQuantified consult workload and turnaround; data feeds service-improvement cases.
Un colegio en Cusco gestionaba asistencia y pagos con hojas de cálculo dispersas y propensas a error.
RoleDesarrollé un sistema de control de asistencia y pagos con dashboards en tiempo real para directivos y apoderados.
OutcomeRegistro centralizado; reportes automáticos reemplazan el trabajo manual.
La academia preuniversitaria necesitaba seguimiento confiable de notas y asistencia para estudiantes y apoderados.
RoleConstruí apps de seguimiento de notas y asistencia con reportes automáticos para docentes y familias.
OutcomeComunicación clara del progreso académico; menos carga administrativa para los docentes.
Education
