What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead medical AI products that can pass FDA pathways and win real hospital adoption—combining computer vision engineering with clinical trial execution, regulatory strategy, and strong partnerships to commercialize diagnostic systems.

I’m a founder and medical AI executive with 7+ years building AI-powered diagnostic systems from concept through clinical trial. I bring a rare combination of deep technical depth and clinical commercial experience.

I’ve personally architected and shipped end-to-end computer vision systems across dermatology and bladder cancer—covering model development, edge hardware deployment, and hospital integration. I designed an end-to-end real-time cystoscopy detection system targeting carcinoma in situ (CIS), with a unified model plus 3D spatial mapping and temporal reasoning running at 30fps on edge hardware.

On the regulatory and clinical side, I lead FDA regulatory strategy and clinical trial design. I completed an FDA pre-submission meeting confirming the De Novo pathway and CADe/CADx classification for a novel AI-assisted cystoscopy device with no predicate, and I built a clinical trial network spanning the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific—securing IRB approval at the first investigational site.

Operationally, I make products that hospitals can actually adopt. I implemented a plug-and-play hardware system integrating Jetson Orin Nano with hospital cystoscopy towers (compatible with Storz, Olympus, and Ambu), partnered with Healthgrades for AI-based skin cancer screening to 1.1 million consumers, and led fundraising through venture capital and state grants while managing an active seed round.
