Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbraham Sanders is a CTO and PhD candidate in Cognitive Science who builds real-time conversational AI that brings lifelike voice agents into healthcare, currently leading product and platform development at Appointment Genie. With nine years in software engineering and a deep background in EHR systems and interoperability, he bridges clinical workflows and cutting-edge generative dialog modeling to improve appointment scheduling and patient engagement. His research focuses on full-duplex spoken dialogue—modeling turn-taking, interruption, overlap, and paralinguistic signals—implemented via real-time codec language model systems. He has production experience integrating ASR/TTS with frontier LLMs (including GPT-5 and Gemini) and has shipped supervised and fine-tuned solutions for sentiment, semantic search, and summarization in commercial products. Based in Troy, NY, he combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering leadership, uniquely fluent in both the research subtleties of human conversation and the practical constraints of healthcare deployments.
