About

Co-founded a healthcare AI startup building and deploying software directly with end users, emphasizing rapid shipping, deep user interviews, and workflow-first adoption. Has hands-on production deployment experience on AWS (including diagnosing a silent AWS App Runner failure caused by an ARM vs amd64 Docker build mismatch) and is motivated by customer-facing, travel-heavy roles to keep engineering tightly connected to real-world usage.

Key Strengths

  • Built and shipped customer-facing software as a healthcare AI startup co-founder
  • Uses fast user-interview-driven iteration to validate real-world needs
  • Pragmatic product pivoting to fit into existing customer workflows and reduce adoption friction
  • Collaborative API/system integration approach with customer technical teams and internal engineers
  • Methodical production troubleshooting on AWS; identified root cause as ARM/amd64 Docker image mismatch with silent App Runner failures
  • Balances prototyping vs production quality using staged rigor (linters/tests for MVPs; staging + integration tests for production; explores formal methods when needed)
