About

Helping build healthcare tools for preventative care and restoration of function.

I've worked across consumer neurotech, metabolic wellness, and medical diagnostics — bringing rigor from the elite sports world into healthcare. My work spans harmonizing 300M+ healthcare records, developing brain-computer interface demos for investors, and building metabolic health tracking tools.
