Developing trustworthy AI across designed to survive real data, real deployment, and real-world use.

I am a physician and PhD candidate working at the intersection of medicine, mathematics, and machine learning. I began my research journey early, moving from statistics and clinical research into machine learning in 2019, and have since built work spanning outcome prediction, NLP, computer vision, time-series modelling, LLM training, evaluations and inference, and AI systems for practical deployment in healthcare, finance, real estate, and beyond. My focus is not just model performance, but building state-of-the-art methods and systems that are rigorous, interpretable, and usable in the real world.

Profile

I work end to end: from defining the research question and data strategy, to designing the methods, building the systems, and carrying them through to deployment. My background as a physician, combined with years of work in statistics, research, and machine learning since 2019, lets me operate across levels that are often separated: medicine, mathematics, modelling, software, and infrastructure. I build work that has to hold up against real data, real workflows, and real implementation constraints, using tools such as SQL, R, Python, Java, and Rust across both local and cloud environments. Whether the task is clinical prediction, multimodal AI, or large-scale research infrastructure, I approach it as both a researcher and a builder.

Current fronts

  • Fair and transparent renal outcome prediction
  • Medical multimodal models and post-training
  • Clinical NLP and chest X-ray language/vision workflows
  • Medical statistics, time-series analysis, and registry-scale research
  • Agentic AI systems and real-world deployment workflows
  • Building Quintessence
