Bio | In the Media | Personal Interests
I am a technical founder and operational leader making a hard pivot into AI Safety. My interests here are:
Aside from the above, I advise startups and build product prototypes via the Simuna Product Lab.
More about my past work below.
I served as the VP of Product of DrChrono, a maker of med-tech software (PM/EHR) used by nearly 5,000 medical practices.
I led a startup-within-a-startup at RadicleScience designing and iterating on a new SaaS product with pilot customers.
I co-founded Crohnology (YC 12), where I built the largest (in its time) Crohn’s & Colitis health-tracking community on the web, which was then integrated and expanded into IBDPartners, and has become the leading decentralized clinical research platform in IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). The data from this network has resulted in 100+ published medical research papers.
I co-founded MessageParty (YC S10), where I built a mobile messaging app that allowed users to chat with those physically near them.
I built COVID-era software that enables organizers to host 1000+ participant virtual events over the phone.
I built a Google Docs Alternative for policy-writing, which uses votes to determine which edits go live.

A major theme of my work has been unlocking the power of data for research.
In the mid-2010s, I had 5 minutes of fame on national TV covering my Crohn’s Disease self-experimentation, and was interviewed/covered in many podcasts, articles, and mini-documentaries. I’ve published in peer-reviewed medical journals. See this coverage and read the articles.
I gave a talk at the very first Quantified Self Conference in 2011 on my self-experimentation in Crohn’s Disease.
