Building what I wished
existed yesterday
Technologist, founder, and advocate with 15 years of building companies and technology. Currently transforming behavioral health documentation with AI that actually works.
Started at 14. Still building.
First Company
Started a web design business. First taste of turning technical skills into something people would pay for.
Network Engineer
Designing and maintaining enterprise infrastructure for hospitals, schools, and institutions. Learned that downtime in a hospital isn't an inconvenience, it's a crisis.
Professional Services Engineer
Leading VoIP implementations, Microsoft Exchange migrations, and M365 deployments. Translating complex technical work into results clients actually understood.
Director of Operations
Managing data centers, engineering teams, and infrastructure for telecommunications services. Reduced downtime incidents significantly through proactive monitoring.
Co-Founded Nextvisit AI
Partnered with psychiatrist Dr. Faisal Rafiq to build AI-powered clinical documentation for behavioral health. Turned a real problem into a real product.
LAUNCH Accelerator (LA35)
Helping clinicians cut documentation time by 70%, reclaim hours every day, and actually get home on time. Building what we wished existed yesterday.
Building Nextvisit AI with a psychiatrist who lives the problem
Dr. Faisal Rafiq spent 15+ years drowning in documentation between patient sessions. Together, we built an AI platform that transforms conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time. Not generic summaries, but properly formatted SOAP notes, DAP notes, and specialized documentation for addiction treatment.
This isn't about saving time. It's about seeing the complete patient story: medication compliance, toxicology results, counseling progress. That's how providers make better treatment decisions. And yes, they get to go home on time.

Honest takes in a world of hype
Living it, building for it, fighting for it
I live with Type 1 Diabetes—a condition that can't be cured by diet, exercise, or willpower. My pancreas simply doesn't produce insulin, and without constant management, my health deteriorates rapidly.
This reality shapes everything I build. I know firsthand that people die when they can't afford medication they need to survive. Healthcare technology should make lives better, not just processes faster.
DIY Loop Community
Active in the open-source movement building artificial pancreas systems that automate insulin delivery.
Breakthrough T1D Walk
Annual participant in Westchester, raising awareness and funds for Type 1 Diabetes research.
Insulin Access Advocacy
Fighting for better access to life-saving medication. Using Omnipod Dash with DIY Loop for my own treatment.
Let's build something
Whether you're working on healthcare technology, need a technical co-founder, or just want to talk shop.
