I'm the Chief Data & AI Officer at Loopchii, where I lead the development of human-centered AI systems for healthcare. My work focuses on closing the gap between what algorithms promise and what they actually deliver for underserved populations.
Background: Lab scientist turned data leader. I spent years in quality control at Thermo Fisher Scientific before transitioning to data science, where I learned that the rigor of laboratory work—validation, reproducibility, documentation—translates directly to building trustworthy ML systems.
Focus Areas:
- Healthcare AI with equity at the center
- Bias detection and fairness in clinical algorithms
- Pattern discovery in distribution tails (my Serendipity Finder work)
- Bridging research and production

Advanced framework for detecting extreme-value correlations in distribution tails. Standard regression shows r=0.06; tail analysis reveals r=0.85.
|
Analysis frameworks for understanding how consumer health technology serves—and underserves—different populations. Quantifying the gap between marketing claims and clinical reality.
|
|
Quantifying media representation by detecting subtle bias patterns in streaming platforms. Interactive dashboards that reveal what content catalogs actually contain.
|
Production-grade Python patterns with comprehensive testing. Bridging the gap between tutorials and real-world code.

The Problem: Most AI fails not because algorithms are wrong, but because human intent gets lost in translation. Goals are messy. Requirements are incomplete. Context is assumed.
Our Approach: We start with intent—the raw, unstructured human need—and loop it through rigorous methodology until it becomes measurable, responsible, and real.
Current Products:
- AuthLoop — Prior authorization AI reducing administrative burden
- WearableLoop — Translating consumer wearable data into clinical insights
- SymptomLoop — Correlating symptoms with biometrics for pattern discovery
