I’m a Product Manager and Engineer based in Vancouver, driven by turning ambitious ideas into real, useful products. I started building websites at 18 through my own agency and began as a self-taught programmer before earning a double major in biomedical and software engineering (I know… an interesting mix).
Since then, I’ve built web platforms, mobile apps, AI products, helped develop medical devices, productized many things, and launched lots of MVPs.
I’m a 0→1 builder at heart who values learning by launching. I’ve worked across industries with cross-functional teams, and I believe strong product, design, and engineering instincts translate everywhere.
My philosophy: clarity, functionality, no unnecessary complexity. I’m always building side projects, new ventures, or learning something new. If it solves a real problem and sparks curiosity, I’m probably working on it.
Experience
Founder | Product
Wavo Health
Built an ambient AI medical scribe available on web, iOS, and Android, powered by a real-time database for seamless cross-device sync. Fine-tuned LLMs for clinical documentation across 80+ specialties — transcription, structured notes, ICD-10/CPT coding, and an AI clinical assistant. HIPAA/PIPEDA compliant with E2E encryption.
Product Lead → CX AI
Clarius Mobile Health
First product hire. Contributed to launching HD and HD3 hardware scanners with the Clarius mobile app (iOS/Android) and cloud platform. Launched the Clarius Membership alongside HD3 — a SaaS subscription bundling advanced software, cloud features, and AI imaging functionality. Partnered with data science on AI model development. Founded the CX department to optimize the full customer journey, leveraging LLMs to automate key processes (~90% membership conversion, +$1.5M revenue).
Senior Product Manager - AI
Medme Health
Led AI scribe team from early discovery interviews through beta testing. Built working prototypes across multiple iterations before handing off to engineering for production. Collected 300+ data points from beta pharmacists to refine accuracy. Cut documentation from ~30 min to under 7 min, saving 400+ hours/week across 1,000+ pharmacies.
Product Lead
SOFIA
Launched telemedicine app — 10K+ downloads in 3 months, 4.5 rating. Expanded specialist network 50% in year one. Drove AI/ML adoption for data analysis.
Graduate Research Assistant
University of British Columbia
MSc in Biomedical Engineering — two years spanning hardware, software, and ML. Designed and built a physical cardiovascular benchtop system (servo pumps, sensors, LabVIEW real-time control with PID + feedforward). Built Python/TensorFlow ML models and pipelines to predict aneurysm rupture risk. Integrated CFD simulations (COMSOL, MATLAB) with machine learning for vascular treatment analysis.
Co-Founder | Product
NeighborHealth
Co-founded with 4 teammates at end of undergrad. Built the full Ruby on Rails platform — Airbnb-style booking engine, telemedicine, and provider messaging — to help patients find affordable treatments abroad. Onboarded dental clinics as the first vertical.
Full Stack Developer → Product Manager
Wizeline
Started as full-stack developer building apps with React, Node.js, and TypeScript — RESTful APIs, real-time WebSockets, CI/CD with Docker. Transitioned to product manager owning roadmap, vision, and Agile delivery across cross-functional teams.
Biomedical Technology Analyst (Intern)
Boston Scientific
Assessed medical devices across LATAM for acquisition discussions. Performed market analysis influencing strategic direction.
Biomedical Engineer (Intern)
GE HealthCare
Contributed to 25% increase in MRI sales. Installed 15+ MRI systems and trained hospital staff on operation and maintenance.
