About Brody Derich

I’m a technical product leader and AI engineer who ships multi-million-dollar products at startup speed-and scales them with enterprise rigor. I turn ambiguous, data-heavy problems into clear roadmaps, production systems, and measurable outcomes.What I build• Data products and AI systems that solve real workflows-FHIR/HL7 pipelines, analytics, and LLM features that actually ship.• Scalable cloud architectures on Azure/Snowflake/Databricks/Postgres with security, observability, and cost discipline baked in.• End-to-end product motions—vision → PRD → prototype → KPI instrumentation → launch → iterate.Current work• AnalytIQ/Milliman (MedInsight) — Technical Product Management for EMR data acquisition and clinical analytics. Standing up a reliable path from disparate EMRs into MedInsight staging: ADT feeds via Bamboo (4× daily), Athena Snowflake DataView integration, Azure ingestion without S3, Snowflake↔Databricks pipelines, and a consolidated denormalization layer. Built rft_ reference tables (race/ethnicity/language), FHIR-aligned mappings, and data-quality audits/lineage. Driving a critical-care product that leverages the new denorm process for faster time-to-insight.• Analytiq — Founder leading a boutique AI product & data engineering studio. We design, build, and harden data-driven products and AI features-moving from idea to V1 in weeks, not quarters.• Milo (askmilo.io) — Co-founder of an AI MCAT coach: adaptive flashcards (cloze + images), smart study plans, ELI5 explanations, and analytics that keep students accountable. Full-stack React/Tailwind + Node/Express + Postgres with privacy-first design.• FHIRLink (fhirlink.com) — Founder of an EMR-aware, FHIR-first data layer. Auto-detects source systems, normalizes/validates to FHIR R4, de-dups/matches patients & encounters, scores data quality, and publishes clean datasets/APIs for analytics and AI.Operating style• Ruthless clarity, rapid prototyping, weekly (and sometimes daily) iteration.• Strong documentation (PRDs, data contracts, runbooks) and instrumentation (SLIs/SLOs, product KPIs).• Build for speed and reliability: HIPAA-minded patterns, RBAC, field-level masking, audit trails.Open to advising, co-building, or fractional product/CTO engagements where shipping fast and scaling cleanly are non-negotiable.

   I’m a full-stack product leader and builder for Taggled—owning product management, system architecture, and data. I scoped the roadmap, designed the privacy-first Gmail integration, and built the core pipeline that parses inbox promos into a personal deals feed. I run our analytics, experimentation, and SEO engine, and I ship fast: clean React UX, reliable APIs, and a metrics-driven iteration cadence.HighlightsEnd-to-end product management: roadmap, specs, delivery, and cross-functional executionSystem architecture: OAuth (read-only), ingestion, parsing, tagging, and Deal Vault serviceBuilt the app stack (React/Tailwind, Node/Express, Postgres) with clean API contractsData modeling & pipelines: message normalization, code extraction, metadata, eventsSecurity & privacy by design: least-privilege scopes, data minimization, clear opt-outsAnalytics: GA4/Mixpanel event schema, activation/retention funnels, experiment designSEO & growth engine: features/alternatives pages, brand templates, structured dataDevOps: CI/CD, environment config, logging/monitoring, performance tuningGTM support: pricing tests, referral mechanics, and launch instrumentation tied to KPIs
