I'm passionate about using technology to solve meaningful problems—whether that's in healthcare, blockchain, or AI—and I believe in putting people first, always. I offer founder-level insights on health tech and privacy tech, along with deep technical expertise in AI/ML and data science. I'm always excited to connect with fellow innovators, entrepreneurs, and experts who share this mission-driven approach to building.
