Building patient-centric products and clinical programs at the intersection of medicine, technology, and operations
I'm a pediatric physician with a passion for leveraging technology and data to improve patient care. My background spans clinical medicine, translational research, and hands-on technical work in Python and data analysis. I'm particularly interested in clinical operations, product development, and cross-functional leadership roles in health-tech organizations. My goal is to contribute to building innovative, patient-centered healthcare solutions as a Medical Director or Chief Medical Officer at a forward-thinking startup or healthcare organization.
