About

My formal training is in biochemistry and materials science, but I'm a self-taught python programmer with extensive experience in computer vision and the analysis of wearables data. My work has led to FDA clearance for an OTC medical diagnostic test and the launch of an important dietary supplement. I've done the groundbreaking work behind several health technology algorithms that are deployed or soon-to-be deployed at a very large scale. I'm the co-inventor of products ranging from wearable chemical sensors to portable sterilization systems and dietary supplements for children intended to prevent food allergies. I have a very extensive knowledge of next-generation battery chemistries, electrochemical techniques, and all sorts of clinical chemistry formulations.
