04builder context

Why this background matters

My clinical experience shapes the way I build. I care about software that works under pressure, respects messy workflows, and gives people more time for the patient, experiment, or decision in front of them. That is why my projects focus on healthcare, research, AI, and tools that remove friction instead of adding another system to fight.
