Building in Public

I’ve been building software and medical devices for years, but almost entirely behind closed doors. Private repos, internal tools, stealth-mode everything. That changes now.

Why Now

Running two companies — IntuBlade and Sayvant — while finishing Stanford’s Clinical Informatics program has taught me something: the best ideas get better when they’re exposed to daylight. Every conversation with a paramedic about how they actually use our laryngoscopes has made the product better. Every physician who pushes back on how Sayvant handles a clinical edge case makes the AI smarter.

The same should be true for how I think and build.

What You’ll Find Here

This site is where I’ll write about the things I’m working through:

• Medical device development — the unglamorous reality of FDA pathways, manufacturing at scale, and getting $95 devices into the hands of first responders who need them.
• Clinical AI — what actually works in healthcare documentation, what doesn’t, and why most “AI for healthcare” pitches miss the mark.
• Building as a physician — the unique advantages (and frustrations) of being a domain expert who also writes code.
• Open source — I’m making more of my projects public. I’ll write about the interesting ones.

The Stack

This site itself is built with Astro, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed on Vercel. The source is on GitHub. Simple, fast, and easy to update from anywhere — which matters when you’re writing between shifts.

Let’s go.
