Specialties:
Healthcare AI: I am an expert in healthcare AI, with a unique background that blends clinical understanding from my MD, deep technical expertise from my AI PhD, and business experience. I have completed 100+ engagements across medical specialties including radiology, dermatology, cardiology, mental health, family medicine, surgery, dentistry, physical therapy, women’s health, pediatrics, nutrition, and neurology. I have created datasets and custom models for diverse forms of biomedical data including x-rays, CTs, MRIs, clinical photographs, patient videos, medical audio, medical notes, EHR data, insurance claims, omics data, and more.
Computer Vision: I create custom AI models for 2D images, 3D images, and videos on proprietary datasets. I am excited about projects from multiple industries including healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, and agriculture. I have extensive experience with classification, object detection, segmentation, and keypoint detection, to identify and localize abnormalities or features of interest. I developed the first machine learning model in the world to predict multiple abnormalities simultaneously from a CT scan. For a dermatology practice, I built the first CV model to predict Fitzpatrick skin type, pigmentation, redness, and wrinkle severity (mean accuracy 85%)—now a core model at Kesty AI.
Artificial Intelligence R&D: I have led multiple AI research projects across industry and academia. I have developed novel AI methods, including HiResCAM, a convolutional neural network explanation method with mathematical guarantees. I have published original research across multiple areas of AI, including computer vision, natural language processing, explainable AI, expert systems, and applied AI. My research papers have been cited over 1,000 times. My healthcare AI blog Glass Box has over 700,000 readers from 185 countries.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): I have a deep understanding of large language models (LLMs) like Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Llama. I have leveraged Transformers and other NLP techniques for numerous applications, including customized chatbots, medical note generation, and structured information extraction.
Advising Entrepreneurs: Before focusing on AI consulting, I spent seven years as the founder of a health AI startup. I led my previous company from concept to deployed B2B SaaS product serving medical practices. Our AI history-taking assistant and AI scribe saved clinicians 2+ hours daily. I managed engineering teams of 5-10 (60+ contributors), secured two U.S. patents, and raised competitive grant funding. I enjoy working with entrepreneurs and discussing pitch decks, fundraising, customer discovery, designing an MVP, and evaluating the ROI of an AI product.

I don't just wrap APIs. I build the algorithms underneath them.
I'm an AI engineer with 8+ years across quantum-simulation ML, fintech, EdTech, and clinical research — and an MS in Theoretical Chemistry. I train transformers from scratch, invent production retrieval algorithms, and ship AI inside a $660M global Clinical Research Organization where "almost right" doesn't pass.
If your last contractor handed you a LangChain demo and called it a product, we should talk.
🔹 What Sets Me Apart
✅ Inventor of the Fox-Search Algorithm — a hybrid vector + graph retrieval method I built for asymmetric query/target search (short questions against 200-page clinical protocols). Pairs a trainable ~0.3B-parameter BERT-tier model with FAISS where pure embedding search collapses.
✅ I train my own models — fine-tuning a 0.3B encoder is normal work for me, not outsourced to a Hugging Face checkpoint.
✅ Scientific rigor — career started predicting atomistic energies and forces for ab-initio-quality molecular simulations. Same measurable-accuracy discipline now applied to LLM systems.
✅ Founder of edup.ai — autonomous grading of handwritten STEM work: computer vision + handwriting recognition + math reasoning + rubric generation, end-to-end.
✅ Production AI in a regulated industry — currently building document intelligence at Worldwide Clinical Trials (2,900+ employees, 52 countries).
🔹 Core Capabilities
▪ RAG done right — hybrid vector+graph retrieval, FAISS at scale, embedding fine-tuning, evaluation harnesses that actually measure quality. If your RAG hallucinates, I can usually tell you why within an hour.
▪ LLM engineering — self-optimizing prompt primitives that improve over time, constrained generation, tool calling, structured outputs. GPT-4o, Claude, Llama, Mistral.
▪ Document intelligence — production parsers for PDF, DOCX, XLSX with section-aware XML processing; semantic search that finds alternative phrasings of previously-approved language.
▪ Custom model training — BERT-tier encoders, LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning, domain-adaptive pretraining.
▪ Computer vision — handwriting recognition, OCR, ViT/CLIP, math symbol understanding.
▪ High-performance engineering — C++ on the hot path, FastAPI services, real async Python.
🔹 Tech Stack
• Languages: Python, C++, JavaScript / TypeScript
• ML / DL: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers, scikit-learn, NumPy, Pandas
• LLM: OpenAI GPT-4o / o-series, Claude, Llama, Mistral, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, LoRA / QLoRA, RAG, function calling
• Retrieval: FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, Qdrant, custom hybrid vector+graph search
• Vision: OpenCV, PyTorch Vision, ViT, CLIP, OCR, handwriting recognition
• Backend: FastAPI, Flask, Docker, REST, WebSockets, async Python
• Frontend: Svelte 4, React
• Enterprise: Microsoft Entra ID, SharePoint, Azure, AWS, GCP
🔹 Shipped Projects
▪ Fox-Search RAG — hybrid vector+graph retrieval running in production for clinical document Q&A, outperforming pure embedding baselines on long-form documents.
▪ Self-optimizing prompt infrastructure — reusable LLM primitives that improve over time without manual prompt-tuning.
▪ Document intelligence backend — parses Excel/DOCX/PDF with section-level XML comprehension; powers cross-document semantic search.
▪ RFI automation for clinical trials — ingests Excel-based Requests for Information and routes them through automated answer pipelines.
▪ edup.ai — 7-stage autonomous grading pipeline for handwritten math, from photo capture to gradebook. Live at edup.ai.
▪ Neural network potentials — ML approximations of quantum-mechanical energy surfaces for molecular simulation (same problem class as DeepMind's AlphaFold lineage).
🔹 How I Work
✔ I scope honestly — if your problem doesn't need AI, I'll tell you.
✔ I write the evaluation code before the model code. Anyone can demo; I deliver something you can measure.
✔ I ship in weekly increments — no six-week silence followed by a "big reveal."
✔ I write maintainable code your team can own after I'm gone.
🔹 Best Fit For
Teams stuck on "our RAG kinda works but hallucinates" • Document-heavy domains (clinical, legal, scientific, financial, EdTech) • Startups needing a senior engineer who can architect, train, deploy, and operate • Anyone whose roadmap requires training models, not just prompting them.
Send me your problem — not your solution. I'll reply within 24 hours with an honest read on whether I'm the right engineer for it.
