Software Developer | Author  
Medical Doctor PhD

As a dedicated MD and PhD with a passion for healthcare, I have spent the past several years pursuing research projects and publishing papers to advance the field. In addition to my medical background, I recently ventured into the healthtech industry in 2020 as a Python programming enthusiast while still working part-time in medicine. With my new skills, I secured a position as a medical knowledge translator at Ada Health in July 2021, and have since transitioned to working as an MD and software developer at Gericall. In my current role, I collaborate with our IT team to implement innovative IT solutions using React and C# to enhance the quality and efficiency of elderly care. As a healthcare provider, I understand the importance of technology in improving healthcare outcomes and delivery but recognize that it should never replace the human connection. My ultimate goal is to leverage technology to enhance healthcare, prioritizing the needs and well-being of those affected by disease above all else.
