In every role, the hard part has been getting a working prototype approved, fitted into how people work, and owned by someone. Built three early products myself: NextConsensus (dated forecasts of guideline, label, and coverage decisions), Ambit (agent capability and authorization mapping, MIT-licensed), and Refract (the change-tracking engine beneath NextConsensus, AGPL-licensed). Fast Harm is a draft test of how far an AI error travels before a correction catches it, and Whether turns macro conditions into a weekly operating call.

• Founded and lead NextConsensus, which registers the probability that a named body — the FDA, NICE, a guideline committee — takes a defined action by a set date. Each estimate is built from that body’s own review record, frozen before the outcome is known, and scored against public resolution rules; none has resolved yet. Built for market access, health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), regulatory, and BD teams working against dates that do not move.
• Built Stims as a standalone engineering product: a browser-native MilkDrop-style visualizer with 1,787 presets, direct .milk compilation, live editing, WebGL2/WebGPU rendering, in-browser recording in beta, and a harness that checks fidelity against projectM. Four of its parts ship as standalone npm packages.
• Built Refract (AGPL-3.0), an open-source engine that replays a source’s revision history into byte-reproducible change events: when a claim first appeared, whether its hedging strengthened or weakened, whether it survived reversion, what editors disputed. A scheduled bot runs it against a live article; the published test set is 15,926 events.

Co-founded and led a physician financial-wellness company across product, funding, and go-to-market. The product helped doctors with contracts, debt, and the move from training to practice.

• Built the Contract Analyzer: automated clause-level analysis flagging risky terms in physician contracts. A JD wrote the legal content, and the product stopped at analysis without giving legal advice.
• Raised $240K in initial funding and grew to 1,200+ physician users and a 700-member community, then wound the company down in 2024, with funding and engagement both short, rather than rebuild it around an employer or a financial advisor as the paying customer.
• Convened a physician medical advisory board to establish the clinical review protocols every contract analysis had to clear.

Early product hire. Led Surgery, Everyday Urgent Care, Behavioral Health, and Oncology Care from the first activated member through 200+ FTEs — the period in which the company reached a $1.6B implied valuation.

• Led the Cancer & Decision Support pod, which shipped CancerCare v1: a triage tool, built on Healthwise content, that inferred the care pathway for adults and children from reported symptoms, and an in-app second-opinion flow that handed off automatically to a nurse line.
• Designed automated routing rules tied to clinical roles across four specialty-care programs. The system assigned each case to the right clinician, while nurses and navigators worked from a shared record during live care coordination.
• Managed two product managers across four specialty-care programs.

Directed digital product for CancerCompass, a Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) venture: an oncology information and navigation platform serving 30 million annual visitors. City of Hope acquired CTCA in 2022; CancerCompass had wound down before the deal.

• First product and technical hire for a pre-CEO, pre-revenue corporate venture, through its growth from 2 to 25 FTEs.
• Led a cross-functional R&D team of 14 onshore and offshore across three products: the health information site (30 million annual visitors), a hospital digital-marketing platform, and a patient-engagement web app.
• Reduced bounce rate by 25%, increased chat conversions by 267%, and raised time on page by 40% through iterative multivariate testing.

Joined as a Product Manager, was promoted in July 2016, and left running user growth and the mobile portfolio. Nine product launches across four years, teams of three to ten, and founding product lead for Doximity Dialer.

• As founding product lead for Doximity Dialer, proved over a weekend that outbound calls could carry an unverified caller ID, and launched on that route deliberately: Doximity’s physician identity verification stood behind the number, with no clinical decision riding on the call. Partnered with legal and hospital IT to clear EHR integration, including Epic Haiku. Dialer now carries more than 300,000 calls on an average workday across 250+ hospitals and health systems.
• Grew Talent Finder revenue 60% YoY to $5M across 1,000+ physician recruiters and 400+ paying clients, reaching 1.8M monthly impressions. The team: four web engineers, a UX designer, a data scientist, and a QA engineer. Built the enterprise marketing platform used by 6 of the top 10 U.S. research hospitals to identify likely referrers for their specialty physicians.
• Ran a national physician compensation survey: 35,000+ unique, ID-verified respondents in one year. Directed the data-science team that turned it into a salary model, trained on 25+ public and private data sources, that predicted pay by U.S. county and medical specialty.

Led post-install success for two outpatient software clients and six patient web-portal clients through root-cause analysis, re-implementation, and custom Caché development where the base product couldn’t reach. Co-led Epic’s PQRS subject-matter group.

• Converted a 477-bed regional health organization from cancellation risk to reference account by resolving 95% of the outpatient issue list through root-cause analysis, re-implementation, and custom plug-in development.
• Took the MyChart patient portal (web and mobile) and EpicCare Link live at a research hospital in a 134-year-old health system.
• Co-led Epic’s five-person PQRS subject-matter group, covering CMS’s Physician Quality Reporting System, and created its escalation path for regulatory issues and critical software bugs, from discovery and triage through customer notification.
