About

The path wasn't planned, but looking back it makes sense.

I started in electrical engineering at Johns Hopkins, spent a summer working on aircraft avionics at United Airlines, and then learned to build software for real clients as a consultant at Accenture. While working, I went back to Hopkins for a master's in computer science, focused on distributed systems, cloud computing, and machine learning.

Then came startups: engineering at Hippo Health and Bizy, and co-founding Ghost Creative, a studio building practice and patient software for small healthcare businesses.

In 2016 I joined Foundry.ai, a venture studio building AI companies. Over six years I went from senior to principal engineer, learning how to put machine learning into production. Curia.ai came out of that work, and I led its engineering as VP until Aledade acquired it in 2023.

Today I lead teams at Aledade across applied AI research, AI platforms, and AI enablement. On the side, I advise a couple of startups and keep building through Gerner Ventures.

Chase interesting problems and good people. The rest tends to follow.

Principles

Growth is my compass. When I'm learning, I'm energized.

Building is fun, but impact is the point.

Anyone can do anything given the right opportunity and environment.
