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."
Who I Help & How
Who I Help
- →Clinical leaders evaluating AI for workflow optimization
- →Health systems navigating data governance & privacy
- →Med-tech founders shipping ML into regulated environments
- →AI researchers bridging academic methods to clinical reality
- →Podcast guests exploring healthcare innovation at scale
Problems I Lean Into
- →ML systems that ignore clinical workflow & human factors
- →Data quality gaps that kill model reliability in production
- →Privacy/compliance friction that delays or blocks deployment
- →Misaligned stakeholder incentives across care delivery
- →Integration debt with legacy EHR & payer systems
Typical Outcomes
- →Clinicians save 15–30% of documentation time via context-aware AI
- →Faster regulatory confidence through evidence & audit trails
- →Reduced integration friction with pragmatic data pipelines
- →Clearer go/no-go decisions via rapid prototyping & evals
- →Thought leadership amplified through podcast reach & distribution

Modern First Principles Podcast
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
