01 / About

From complexity into working software.

I build AI systems that work in the real world. 17+ years in healthcare, insurance, and fintech means I've shipped under HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 and learned which shortcuts you can't take.

Currently focused on GenAI: RAG pipelines, agentic document workflows, and LLM integration for regulated industries.

  • From McKinsey to NYP to QBE : analytics products, hospital platforms, and enterprise applications and GenAI across industries.
  • Consistently lifted developer productivity ~25% by building better tooling and cleaner architecture.
  • Built two startups from scratch first engineering hire, product, and team both times.

Insurance

Enterprise GenAI for claims & underwriting

Persona-driven GenAI assistant for insurance workflows: claims triage, NDA review, document comparison, and broker submission processing. Each persona controls its own prompts, retrieval scope, and citation rules so users get role-appropriate answers without guardrail workarounds.

Cut submission review time by 40%
Finance

FinTech platform — built from ground up

Full-stack build of a private markets trading platform: external trading portals, internal ops tools, APIs, caching, and CI/CD with security scanning at every stage. No team, no product, and no infrastructure existed when I joined.

SOC 2 and GDPR compliant system
Finance

Plaid integration — automated accounting

Plaid bank-feed integration that eliminated manual journal entry and month-end reconciliation. Transactions flow into the ledger automatically with categorization and exception routing. Accounting staff went from full reconciliation to exception-only review.

Manual reconciliation work eliminated
03 / How I work

From prototype to production.

A repeatable path that gets AI past the demo and into something a regulated business can actually run.

01

Frame & evaluate

Define the eval before the prompt. Pin success metrics, risks and the data that actually matters.

02

Build with guardrails

Retrieval, citations and policy baked in. Latency and cost budgeted up front, not bolted on.

03

Ship & sustain

DevSecOps, observability and SLAs so it stays compliant and up long after launch.
