Building clinical AI systems that healthcare teams trust—and podcast conversations that turn first principles into action.

I help health systems, med-tech companies, and AI researchers ship evidence-grounded, privacy-aware ML into production while running Modern First Principles to explore the edge of healthcare innovation.

"Start with outcomes. Build backward. Ship forward."

About Me

Who I Am

Clinical AI BuilderSystems ThinkerEducator (First Principles)Global & UnconventionalFaith‑Grounded

Clinical AI Builder

I build interpretable, reliable AI that clinicians trust.

From raw EHR to GPU‑accelerated pipelines and bedside‑safe decisions, built with first‑principles thinking from physics → ML/DL → systems.

Principles

•Safety, explainability, and validation > model vanity.
•Privacy‑by‑design and least‑privilege data access.
•Human‑in‑the‑loop deployment; clinicians at the center.

Skills

•ML/DL: CV · NLP · RL
•Frameworks: PyTorch/TensorFlow, scikit‑learn, NumPy
•Data & Scale: SQL, Spark; batch/stream pipelines
•Systems: containers (Docker), orchestration, CI/CD
•Acceleration: CUDA & multi‑GPU training
•Healthcare data: EHR (tabular/text), clinical notes, MIMIC‑III
•MLOps: experiment tracking, model monitoring & drift handling

Educator & Lifelong Student

I learn deeply; then teach from first principles.

Six years of rigorous physics study through early college formed my mental models. When I've questioned a thing hard enough to know it's true in reality, I teach it—simply and from the ground up.

Principles

•Prove it yourself. Then simplify it for others.
•No mystique—make the math and code graspable.
•Curricula as systems: feedback, iteration, and proof.

Proof

•Taught 100+ students across STEM & CS.
•Built hands‑on labs in AI/ML and software fundamentals.
•Mentored across disciplines—AI, product, and systems.

Global & Unconventional

Cross‑disciplinary builder with a world‑citizen lens.

I move across domains—physics, AI, healthcare, product, and community—linking ideas others keep separate.

Learn more▾

Principles

•Synthesize across domains; don't silo truth.
•Operate outside comfort zones; bias to shipping.
•Skin in the game—measure by outcomes, not optics.

Proof

•12 schools • 3 states • 2 countries (lived/studied).
•Awards & recognitions, including President's Award.
•Weekly podcast cadence (Modern First Principles).

Faith‑Driven Operator

Truth‑seeking, service, and stewardship guide the work.

Deep faith in the Creator informs how I build: integrity over optics, service over status, excellence over ego.

Modern First Principles explores the edge of AI, healthcare, and systems thinking—through long-form conversations with founders, researchers, and operators who have skin in the game.

What Makes a Great Conversation

✓First-principles reasoning about hard tradeoffs (not best practices or platitudes)
✓Skin in the game—you've built, shipped, or operated at scale
✓Willingness to admit uncertainty and share failure modes
✓Clear mental models that listeners can apply to their own problems
