Physician (MD) AI/ML expert software engineer regulatory consultant with 13+ years experience

Bio

I am a physician, software engineer, AI/ML expert, and regulatory consultant. I have been developing medical device software for 10 years. I have helped startups and Fortune 500 companies write medical grade software and secure regulatory clearance. I was born in Nepal, came to the states when I was 4, and learned to code BASIC when I was 8. I graduated with a BME degree from UT Austin and a MD degree from UT Houston. I am passionate about decreasing barriers to translating medical devices from the lab to the clinic for the benefit of patients and physicians alike.
