About Me

Healthcare analytics, production machine learning, and performance science, connected by a focus on building useful systems.

Jonah Zembower

Healthcare is no longer just about medicine; it’s about the data that guides it.

I build data products that turn complex clinical and operational information into decisions people can use. At Carnegie Mellon, I am pursuing an MS in Health Care Analytics & Information Technology while working across production ML, predictive modeling, and healthcare business strategy.

My recent work includes production model monitoring and clinical AI at Highmark Health, payment-plan modeling and automated BI workflows at ARxChange, and an operations dashboard at Walmart ACC 7377 that generated an estimated $6,000 in first-week savings.

I bring an interdisciplinary foundation in data science and exercise science, which helps me move comfortably between technical, clinical, and operational teams.
