AI x Rare and Chronic Diseases x Medicine Discovery
What if we could predict which rare disease patients will respond to treatment before they even start therapy?
I'm building the algorithms, infrastructure, and clinical AI systems to make this possible.
University of Southern California (USC) trained computer scientist pursuing an MS at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) AI for Drug Discovery program, working at the convergence of computational biology, clinical AI, and ML systems engineering.
Designing algorithms that decode biological complexity in rare and chronic diseases, building infrastructure that scales therapeutic discovery from genomics to clinical trials, and developing AI that directly improves patient outcomes where treatment options are most limited.
Rowing coach and athlete, bringing discipline, systems thinking, and team leadership to cutting-edge research in medicine discovery.
Architected a cross-departmental genomic data platform, accelerating rare disease therapeutic pipelines through real-time research integration.
Engineered specialized NLP models to establish pedagogically sound AI guardrails for higher education curriculum integration.
Developed unified analytics dashboards aggregating multi-platform growth metrics, identifying strategic expansion opportunities.
Designing neural network architectures that optimize chemotherapy regimens based on tumor geometry and spatial characteristics from CT imaging, directly translating biological insights into improved patient treatment protocols.
Building RAG-based AI agents and scalable NLP infrastructure for voice assistive technology, processing natural language data from traumatic brain injury and aphasia patients to enhance clinical accessibility and outcomes.
Engineered radiation oncology EHR dashboards and data pipelines, standardizing departmental workflows to accelerate clinical decision-making and improve treatment precision.
Conducted market analysis and founder outreach to build an internal medical device marketplace infrastructure, bridging computational innovation with physician-driven clinical needs.
From the Water to the Lab
Leadership isn't just about titles—it's about discipline, systems thinking, and pushing through when things get hard. As a Second Team All-American rower and coach for nationally-ranked teams, I learned how to optimize performance under pressure, collaborate across diverse teams, and iterate rapidly based on data.
These same principles drive my research: breaking down complex problems, building repeatable systems, and mentoring others to achieve their best work.
