A co-founder and former COO of a health startup, he combines product intuition and operational rigor with deep hands-on skills in Python, Spark, AWS, and modern experimentation platforms.

An autodidact by nature, he pairs a long track record of practical implementations with ongoing curiosity about emerging AI and infrastructure patterns.
