I'm the Chief Data & AI Officer at Loopchii, where I lead the development of human-centered AI systems built for real-world impact. My work focuses on closing the gap between what algorithms promise and what they actually deliver for underserved populations.
Background: I started as a lab scientist in quality control, long before I ever trained a model. That experience shaped how I think about AI: systems should be validated, reproducible, and documented as carefully as any clinical assay. Now, I build AI where failure is expensive, bias is measurable, and the long tail actually matters.
Focus Areas:
- Human-centered AI systems across high-impact domains
- Bias detection and fairness in real-world algorithms
- Bias governance, compliance, and responsible AI regulation
- Pattern discovery in distribution tails (my Serendipity Finder work)
- Bridging research and production

Advanced framework for detecting extreme-value correlations in distribution tails. Standard regression shows r=0.06; tail analysis reveals r=0.85. |
Analysis frameworks for understanding how consumer health technology servesβand underservesβdifferent populations. Quantifying the gap between marketing claims and clinical reality. |

Quantifying media representation by detecting subtle bias patterns in streaming platforms. Interactive dashboards that reveal what content catalogs actually contain. |
Production-grade Python patterns with comprehensive testing. Bridging the gap between tutorials and real-world code. |
The Problem: Most AI fails not because algorithms are wrong, but because human intent gets lost in translation. Goals are messy. Requirements are incomplete. Context is assumed.
Our Approach: We start with intentβthe raw, unstructured human needβand loop it through rigorous methodology until it becomes measurable, responsible, and real.
Current Products:
- AuthLoop β Prior authorization AI reducing administrative burden
- WearableLoop β Translating consumer wearable data into clinical insights
- SymptomLoop β Correlating symptoms with biometrics for pattern discovery
