WORM & Immutable Archival

Deployed WORM optical archival addressing the immutability, retention and integrity requirements that govern regulated medical records. These were architecture decisions rather than storage settings.

This is the earliest instance of a pattern that runs through the whole career: systems where the retention rule is a law rather than a policy. WORM archives for medical records in 1997; hospital networks under HIPAA and Department of Defense work through 2004; then two decades where CJIS criminal justice records, HIPAA patient information, court records and elections data shared one platform under Florida public records law.
