Top 1% Expert-Vetted Freelancer. I have a PhD in Computer Science (AI & Machine Learning) and I am a physician. I build custom AI systems with proprietary and public data, including creation of novel datasets and state-of-the-art models. * After a 30-minute to 1-hour initial meeting, I'll craft a clearly written report outlining a unique AI strategy for your project. * For long-term engagements, I implement AI solutions end-to-end, including data collection, data cleaning, novel model design, model implementation and training in Python, and iteration on the modeling and data strategy to achieve excellent performance. * One of my specialties is creating custom models for proprietary datasets, including images, videos, audio recordings, and domain-specific data. Book a 30-minute consultation with me to get immediate answers about your AI project: - How can you leverage AI in your organization? - What kind of AI do you need to solve a particular problem? - Should you use a model like ChatGPT/Claude or do you need a custom model? - What modeling strategy should you use? - How should you collect and annotate data? - How much data will you need? - How should you measure performance? After a consultation I’ll craft a clearly-written report outlining an AI strategy for your project. 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. If you’d like to talk with me about your AI project, please feel free to send me a message or book a consultation using the link on my profile.
