I am an unusual combination: a physician and computer scientist.

I am dedicated to solving challenging problems through an interdisciplinary lens that few others possess.

Doing good, at scale

My life’s mission, simply stated, is to be an instrument of good in the world. This is why I became a physician. When choosing a career path, I initially planned to become a surgeon. This would enable me to become a direct instrument of good in the world and help others.

During medical training, I learned how to code and build artificial intelligence. I also had the wonderful opportunity to complete global health expeditions in sub-Saharan Africa and the Himalayas. During these experiences, I soon realized that code and machine learning could allow me to continue caring for patients abroad, regardless of where I was physically based. By encoding medical domain knowledge into AI technology, I could magnify my positive impact in the world. I could do good, at scale.

With this in mind, I pursued graduate studies in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. I have since moved to San Francisco to build the future. I now research ideas and build technologies that do good, at scale.
