- Awarded a direct-to-phase II NIH SBIR grant for an osteoarthritis clinical trial as a Principal Investigator- Implemented an AWS pipeline, FastAPI dashboard, Django clinician interface, and a backend sales interface to bring a physical therapy medical device to market.- Consulted for the Boulder Small Business Development Center, focusing on AI & FDA regulation entrepreneurs.

New York, New York, United States

Established the R&D Department—hired and led an Agile team of 7 direct reports, comprising ML engineers, designers, clinical researchers, and a full stack engineer. Responsible for identifying, prioritizing, and delivering digital instruments that drove customer engagement and satisfaction during the management of clinical trials. Fostered expansive, internal cross-functional collaboration and orchestrated instrumental external partnerships through research collaborations with hospitals, international research institutions, and academic partnerships with universities.Notable products:● AR + ML digital instrument to characterize and quantify diapered stool samples. The segmentation algorithm is the current SOTA, I drafted all documentation and was responsible for all documentation sent to the FDA CDER/MDDT. Sold it into a sponsor's >$2M pediatric clinical trial and successfully patented the IP.● Audio AI suite for characterizing the behavior of infants with colic, leveraging Wav2Vec2, whisper, and custom transformer models. Roadmapped and delivered a technical integration with LENA SP hardware and software that was ultimately sold into a >$1M pediatric clinical trial. Technology wasleveraged to produce a Cough patient diarization product.● Selfie AR + Voice analysis application to analyze speech patterns after pediatric cleft lip surgery. Used open-source models for lip detection, linguistic features, forced alignment, and speechdetection. I was appointed as a Visiting Research Scientist and the app is in active use at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

What does a cat's hindlimb have to do with convex polyhedra algorithms? After a month working with the department of Theoretical Computer Science, I learned how to optimize muscle models with 'linear programming'​. With this, I published a conference proceeding at the International Conference of the 2015 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) about the feasible ways that tendon driven limbs can work.

Torrance, Ca

For this project, I used R, Python, and D3.js to develop a crowd-sourced data validation platform that I successfully implemented with tens of thousands of participants. With the results, I evaluated the statistical effectiveness of SVM text-mining classification algorithms implemented in Scala / Spark.
