I am a health AI researcher based in Los Angeles. My work focuses on how long-horizon healthcare data can be used to build, evaluate, and improve AI systems for medicine, with a particular interest in ensuring these systems are useful across diverse healthcare environments around the world.
I am the founder and CEO of Helium Health (Series B), one of the largest healthcare technology companies across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, serving over 10,000 clinicians across 7 countries. The company was backed by over $50M in capital from top global investors such as Tencent & Y Combinator and worked extensively with the Gates Foundation, the Global Fund & the World Bank.
I am also the founding and managing partner of MAGIC Fund, an early-stage venture fund that has invested in more than 250 technology companies across 40 countries, including companies such as Jasper, Retool, and Bolt.
I have a background in computer science and engineering and hold degrees from Johns Hopkins University & Morgan State University. I am in the Harvard Business School OPM Class 65. I am a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and have been featured by CNBC, CNN, and TechCrunch.
My current work explores the development, evaluation, and safe deployment of AI systems in healthcare and other complex real-world environments.
