Founder and CEOPair TeamFeb 2019 - Current (7 years 9 months)Pair Team connects underserved communities to high-quality care by partnering with local clinics, shelters, food pantries, and other community-based organizations. It acts as an extension of its partners to provide comprehensive clinical and mental health care while addressing the many social barriers to achieving a high quality of life such as access to housing, food or transportation. The company’s shared community health platform leverages artificial intelligence to implement clinical best practices, making it the market leader in California’s complex care program.
We are hiring! https://boards.greenhouse.io/pairteam- SAdvisorSpect IncOct 2018 - Mar 2019 (6 months)At Spect, we are building the next-generation ophthalmology platform with a patent pending medical device for your iPhone to automatically detect any diseases in the eye starting with diabetic retinopathy.
- FounderNoxon ConsultingJan 2018 - Apr 2019 (1 year 4 months)At Noxon Consulting, we strategize and build Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning initiatives for our clients to give them a drastic competitive edge across a variety of industries. Working primarily with international clients, we have built drone solutions for managing road construction to legal document analysis for offshore teams.
- CreatorPattern MLJul 2017 - Sep 2018 (1 year 3 months)Pattern is a podcast that interviews ML startup founders to hear about ML and data science applications in the real world. We look at business tradeoffs/decisions rooted in creating such a technical product. We try to go technically deeper than other business centric approaches to ML
- Research Author - Machine Learning LeadUCSF Medical CenterJan 2017 - Jul 2018 (1 year 7 months)I published a paper in the IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Healthcare and Medicine with with a team at UCSF.
We built a diagnostic tool for pneumonia by analyzing audio disturbances caused by the presence of fluid in the lungs. I was involved with setting up the clinical procedure and development/analysis of the neural network and statistical analysis of the results including the feature engineering from the audio signals.

Our work was feat - Early Software EngineerForward IncJul 2016 - Oct 2018 (2 years 4 months)Forward is re-imagining direct to primary care by building a network of primary care clinics that offers its patients concierge, preventative care by building founded on a new generation of technology. As one of the earliest software engineers at Forward, I touched every aspect of the technology to build each primary care clinic including: a ground up EMR focused on building long term value into data, a collaborative screen used by each doctor for every patient visit, a scribing mechanism to keep doctors out of busy administrative work, 3p integrations with Quest/Alto/etc, custom body-scanner hardware to replace repetitive tasks of nurses, and a patient facing app to keep everyone in control of their own health.
- LCreatorLiquefyNov 2015 - Jun 2016 (8 months)Liquefy is an open sourced platform to automatically provision code on AWS Spot Instances at the lowest cost. We wanted to make generic infrastructure that was cheap for machine learning and other batch jobs that take a long time to run and so saving half the cost is worth adding a few extra hours of run time. One use case was running 5 times as many deep learning models in parallel! AWS spot instances are spare compute capacity that Amazon auctions off at discounted prices but can revoke the machine with little warning. The trade off was to sacrifice run time in return for lower prices. We used statistical regression across Amazon's historical pricing data to find the lowest cost for different computational payloads.
- Senior Software EngineerDelphixJul 2015 - Jul 2016 (1 year 1 month)Developer Productivity Lead: improved productivity across eng org through increased stability testing and tooling
Release Lead: lead eng org through the 5 month development of version 5.1.
AppData Lead: promoted from IC to lead within a year. Drove technical direction for our generic database solution. Supported DB2 and HANA teams. - Software EngineerDelphixJul 2014 - Jul 2015 (1 year 1 month)
- Teaching Assistant: Distributed SystemsCarnegie Mellon UniversityJan 2014 - May 2014 (5 months)I was an active TA in Carnegie Mellon's undergraduate Distributed Systems course (15-440). We worked on building everything from MapReduce to Paxos algorithms.
- Software Development InternDelphixMay 2013 - Aug 2013 (4 months)I wrote my own remote file synchronization protocol over Delphix's custom session protocol DSP (Delphix Session Protocol). The protocol was based on the Unix rsync tool and was aimed to minimize byte data sent between machines (i.e. sending only byte changes/deltas) and to provide extended functionality of resume, suspend, and progress tracking. The changed byte data was founding using a rolling hash algorithm. Benchmarked against rsync, the byte difference algorithm worked equally as well.
- Software Developer InternYextJun 2012 - Aug 2012 (3 months)I interned at Yext's main office in New York City during the summer between my sophomore and junior year at CMU. I worked on a logging server and visualizer that allowed a user to see the current 'state' of the system based on incoming logging messages from the Log4j system.
- FreelancerFreelancercomDec 2011 - May 2013 (1 year 6 months)I started working as a freelancer on the site www.freelancer.com. As a freelancer, I take on odd jobs here and there which gives me a wide variety of programming projects to work on. My main focus is web and mobile app development.
- Student Medical ShadowerUPMCAug 2011 - Nov 2011 (4 months)I was accepted into the Fall 2011 Preceptorship Program between Carnegie Mellon University and the UPMC hospital. I committed 100+ hours of medical shadowing in various branches of the hospital.
- Research InternUnited States Air Force TecEdgeJun 2011 - Aug 2011 (3 months)I worked in the Tec^Edge program within the USAF. During this time, I created a interactive war game in the virtual world. My main project was to create a new way to interact with the virtual world using Microsoft's Kinect. In this way, a human could control his/her virtual avatar using real body motions such as head turning and pointing.
- Peer Tutor for Concepts of MathematicsCarnegie Mellon UniversityJan 2011 - May 2011 (5 months)I took a peer tutor training course and also tutored for the course Concepts of Mathematics.

- AImproved Detection of Lung Fluid With Standardized Acoustic Stimulation of the ChestAugIn this paper, an acoustic transducer and a digital stethoscope system are proposed as a targeted solution for this clinical need. Alterations in the structure of the lungs lead to measurable changes which can be used to assess lung pathology.
