I build world class technology that improves human lives.I was the co-founder and CEO of Nines, the first-of-its-kind teleradiology practice. Our radiologists and engineers built world-class tools in-house to enable the best radiologists to deliver the best patient care. We built multiple FDA-approved AI and ML medical devices, one the first of its kind, and served patients per year on an annualized basis at leading centers like UPMC and Yale. We were backed by Accel, 8VC, Josh Fink, Kim Hammonds, Lori and Brian Goler, and Mark Leslie.Previously, I was the founding CEO of Udacity, empowering students with more educational choice.
