AI Engineer and two-time founder, ~20 years in software. My whole career has been about being a sole engineer or leading small teams (4-5 people), gathering requirements from non-technical people, and turning those into production applications.
Currently I'm a sole AI engineer working directly with clinicians at a startup building a clinical "between sessions" AI agent on WhatsApp. I built it as a multi-agent system: a router assesses each conversation for clinical risk and directs it to specialized agents, with strategies to escalate high-risk cases to human professionals. I also built the RAG pipeline and an evaluation framework from scratch (LLM-as-a-judge plus code-based evaluators, synthetic trace generation, continuous production-trace analysis, all with Arize Phoenix), drawing on clinical safety benchmarks like VERA-MH (Spring Health) and TherapyGym.
My background pairs engineering with business (B.A. in Marketing), so the customer-facing half is something I'm very comfortable with.
