Bio

Co-founder & CEO of Prana (YC W26). I hold a B.S. and M.S.E. in BME from Johns Hopkins. I deferred Brown Medical School to build Prana, realizing software scales better than appointments. Previously, I was an AI Engineer at Onix, scaling GenAI solutions to hundreds of thousands of users for Fortune 500 clients. I co-developed ICPredict, a deep learning model for non-invasive brain pressure monitoring, and engineered rapid saliva diagnostics that secured strategic R&D backing from Danaher.
