IMPIRICUS

Leading AI at Impiricus, a pharma-tech company building HCP (healthcare provider) engagement software. Work spans agentic AI systems, optimization, and operations research, applying an applied-mathematics foundation to deployed software used across pharmaceutical and provider networks. Scope includes predictive modeling of provider behavior, voice-based clinical workflow automation, and intelligent content systems for physician education. This work drives product innovation, operational efficiency, and cross-functional team growth.

02 // STARTUP EXPERIENCE

Founder & Head of Product REF: LG-001

LITGRAB

Founded an AI medical education company built on agentic AI and AI research using statistics, as Head of Product. The product sold competitive intelligence to pharmaceutical companies. Led product development through an early acquisition by Impiricus.

That drive to build carried into the ecosystem work described below, from advising other founders to hosting events like Hackers and Healers and the Healthtech Builder's Circle.

SEHAT SYSTEMS

Co-founded Sehat Systems, an Arabic-language AI medical scribe built for a mobile electronic health record (EHR) system, the first of its kind. The goal was to help democratize EHR access in the Middle East, where EHR adoption is far less common than in the US. The venture was family and friends funded, and wound down after validating limited product-market fit.

Investor & Advisor

AMORCER

Investor and advisor to Amorcer, an AI-native platform helping clinicians launch and operate virtual chronic-care clinics (the name comes from the French amorcer, "to launch"). Per the founders' own account, the company was later acquired by 3Y Health, a venture-backed practice-management platform for clinician entrepreneurs (backed by 8VC, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, SoftBank, and Sound Ventures).

HACKERS AND HEALERS MIXER

On May 1st, co-hosted the Hackers and Healers Mixer with Mujtaba from DxAngels, hosted at the new Impiricus NYC office. The goal was simple: bring together people who build technology and people who practice medicine, then leave the rest to them.

"Healthcare needs more of this. Builders should hear directly from clinicians about what is broken, what is frustrating, and what is actually worth solving. Clinicians should have space to brainstorm when the right technical people are in the room."

HARVARD UNIVERSITY TALK

Presented and spoke at Harvard University in partnership with Harvard Computer Society and HCS Tech for Social Good, as VP of AI Engineering at Impiricus.

A Mathematical Optimization Framework for Office Layout Design, title page
A lighter side of applied math

The applied-math instincts show up outside of work too, including a lighthearted, fully-formalized write-up, "A Mathematical Optimization Framework for Office Layout Design," modeling office desk and chair arrangement as a constrained optimization problem (room boundaries, door clearance, non-overlap constraints, connectivity via graph search, and an explicit objective function).
