Ramon Rios Jr.
Healthcare & Zero-Trust Compliance Architect
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt • 22+ Years Enterprise Infrastructure, Zero-Trust Cloud & Cognitive AI Orchestration
Why I Fit This Role: Healthcare systems fail when architects treat compliance as an afterthought or force patients to carry a 20-page clipboard into the exam room. I engineer zero-knowledge cryptographic boundaries and automated chain-of-custody workflows that make regulatory compliance effortless and breach-immune.
Executive Summary
Lean Six Sigma Black BeltPrincipal Healthcare & Zero-Trust Compliance Architect specializing in HIPAA, FDA SaMD Class II, FTC HBNR, and FMCSA/DOT regulatory alignment. Spent 1 year across 6 clinics and 2 hospitals proving and solving the '15–20 page waiting-room clipboard penalty' via Aura hOS™ (AES-256-GCM zero-knowledge edge vaults) and architected CDTA's end-to-end AWS/Odoo 20 clinical toxicology platform—cutting manual intake overhead by 85% and audit preparation from days to seconds.
Professional Experience & Verified ROI
Result & Impact-First ChronologyPrincipal Systems Architect
Jul 2026 — Present- Result & ROI: Replaced a fractured legacy stack (Wix, QuickBooks, Google Sheets, and paper faxes) with a unified ERP/CRM Toxicology Operations platform, reducing manual data-entry overhead by 85%, cutting audit preparation from days to seconds, and accelerating B2B Net-30 billing reconciliation from 3 days to real-time.
- Process Automation & Chain of Custody: Architected end-to-end digital workflows governing DOT consortium enrollment (
/consortium), self-service walk-in kiosks (/kiosk), employee Fast-Pass tokens, cryptographic Chain of Custody (CCF), automated random pools, and bank-grade secure PDF delivery to Probation Officers. - Zero-Trust Cloud Infrastructure: Orchestrated agency-wide deployment on AWS using Terraform IaC, high-availability PostgreSQL, and containerized Odoo services compliant with FMCSA/DOT and clinical toxicology standards.
Founding Builder & Lead Systems Architect
Nov 2025 — Present- Clinical & Regulatory ROI: Achieved structural immunity to centralized cloud breaches for health-tech deployments—bypassing FDA SaMD Class II and FTC HBNR BAA liabilities while eliminating the visceral "15–20 page waiting-room clipboard penalty" validated across a 1-year field study in 6 clinics and 2 hospitals.
- Zero-Knowledge Cognitive Exoskeleton: Guided the end-to-end architecture of Aura hOS™, routing patient and neurodivergent executive-function telemetry from React/TypeScript frontends to local SQLite edge vaults and PostgreSQL nodes via AES-256-GCM encrypted QR handshakes.
- Deterministic AI Audit Pipelines: Engineered multi-agent validation guardrails (Inquisitor & Paradox Hunter nodes) and a Stealth ICD-10 clinical taxonomy engine to prevent LLM hallucinations during regulatory compliance sweeps.
Senior Onsite IT Systems Engineer & Consultant
Aug 2023 — Aug 2024- Zero-Downtime Healthcare Uptime: Served as the primary onsite technical escalation advisor for hospital executives and regional medical centers, guaranteeing 100% zero-downtime operations across hybrid cloud, Windows Server, virtualization, and MS SQL Server environments.
- High-Stakes Cloud Cutover: Engineered and executed a complex 50+ hour parallel migration of enterprise SharePoint and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) infrastructure protected by Acronis BCDR, completing the cutover with zero operational interruption.
Systems Engineer Tier II (Project Engagements)
Jan 2017 — Sep 2017- Multi-Project Enterprise Rollouts (9 Months): Executed a dedicated 9-month series of commercial infrastructure projects, VMware/Active Directory migrations, and Microsoft O365 security deployments for healthcare, education, and municipal clients.
- Site Reliability & Disaster Recovery: Governed multi-site backup and disaster recovery matrices utilizing Datto BCDR appliances and hardened Barracuda email security gateways, achieving 100% zero data loss across all managed client cutovers.
Founder, Owner & Principal IT Consultant
May 2004 — Dec 2020- 16-Year Retail Store & B2B Operations: Founded, scaled, and operated a retail computer design store, hardware diagnostics center, and B2B IT consultancy for 16 years across 3 brick-and-mortar retail locations and technical labs.
- Automated Inventory & Ticketing Scale: Engineered custom inventory and service-ticketing workflows governing an active catalog of 7,000+ unique hardware SKUs, custom workstations, and commercial repair queues.
- End-to-End SMB Infrastructure: Designed and deployed commercial LAN/WAN networks, firewalls, virtualization hosts, and Windows Server environments for regional business clients.
Flagship Architectural Deployments & Case Studies
Production Systems & Open-Source ProofCDTA Unified Toxicology Operations & DOT Compliance Suite
Consolidated a fragmented multi-vendor clinical operation (Wix, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, paper faxes) into a single high-concurrency Odoo 20 & AWS platform. Engineered public donor booking (/book), walk-in self-service kiosks (/kiosk), employer DOT random pool automation (/consortium), electronic Chain of Custody, and bank-grade encrypted PDF delivery for Probation Officers.
Aura hOS™ — Zero-Knowledge Cognitive Exoskeleton & Clinical Intake Engine
Designed and deployed a local-first cognitive prosthetic and clinical intake architecture proven across 1 year in 6 clinics and 2 hospitals. Patients and neurodivergent users retain cryptographic custody of their telemetry on-device and transmit structured intake payloads via ephemeral AES-256-GCM QR handshakes—so no patient ever walks into an exam room still holding a 20-page clipboard.
CoquiAudit, CoquiProposals & CoquiPulse — Sovereign Odoo 20 FinOps, SOW & SLA Suite
Engineered a commercial suite of native Odoo 20 Community modules replacing fragmented B2B SaaS subscriptions: CoquiAudit (interactive FinOps & SaaS sprawl TCO calculator at /audit-calculator), CoquiProposals (interactive milestone Statement of Work studio with HTML5 Canvas e-signatures and SHA-256 audit hashes at /proposals), and CoquiPulse (live HTTP/TLS infrastructure SLA portal at /status).
Industrial & Medical Hybrid-Cloud Modernization (Proxmox VE & Azure AVD)
Architected high-availability Proxmox VE clusters, parallel 50+ hour Azure Virtual Desktop & SharePoint migrations, and isolated SMBv1 Samba bridge appliances that safely connected 30-year-old industrial steel-mill machinery to modern zero-trust networks.
Cognitive Engineering & Logic Orchestration
-
1. Logic vs. Syntax Separation:
I operate as a Systems Director and Logic Orchestrator. Rather than manually typing boilerplate syntax from rote memory, I map the 3D architectural boundaries, security threat models, and data schemas—then direct specialized AI swarms to execute the raw syntax at hyper-speed. -
2. Adversarial AI Guardrails:
Every AI pipeline I deploy is governed by deterministic validation layers (Inquisitor & Paradox Hunter nodes) that audit outputs against strict regulatory rules (HIPAA, FDA SaMD, DOT) to eliminate hallucinations before they touch production databases. -
3. Visceral Field-Tested ROI:
Whether eradicating the "15–20 page waiting-room clipboard penalty" across 6 clinics and 2 hospitals or slashing enterprise MarTech and SaaS sprawl costs by 98% (,200/mo to under /mo) via sovereign Odoo 20 & AI orchestration, every blueprint is measured by real-world human and financial impact.
