Currently
Founder. Building the world's most accessible hearing aid. Hearing loss affects 1 in 5 globally — most will never afford what already exists. Working with Harvard Medical School and St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.
Biomedical Engineer. Using ML and FEA to model how the musculoskeletal system responds to force, so orthopedic surgeons can make better decisions before entering the OR.
Software Engineer. Automating the hours surgeons spend on pre-operative planning. Building AI-driven surgical simulation and decision-support systems.
ML Researcher. Building models that predict when a rehabilitation patient is improving, plateauing, or quietly declining — before the clinical team notices.
Co-Founder. Built the first ML tool for PSP detection and tau protein modeling. Nebius AI Discovery Award winner. Twice published.
Founder. Top-100 religion app on the App Store. Focus mode, layered guidance, and reward mechanics for people trying to build consistency in prayer.
Highlights
I want to practice medicine, but I can't ignore what's possible with computation. The goal is to build tools that make anything less than precision unacceptable, from the inside.
