Founder, CIVICA Health Inc.

Jun 2025 to present · Reno, Nevada

CIVICA Health builds software that streamlines clinical workflows for free and student-run clinics, working with Clínica Tepati, Knights Landing and other clinics in Sacramento. Its platform, CIVIC (Clinical Intelligence for Virtual and Integrated Care), is a productivity suite built around how small clinics run.

• CIVIC platform (PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Python): EMR, AI inventory, scheduling and more, behind one login.
• Deployed and maintained in clinics in the Sacramento area, with 200+ active users.
• Poster at the 2025 Society of Student-Run Free Clinics Annual Conference in Chicago (October 6, 2025; 470+ clinics represented).
• More than 50 potential clinic partnerships opened since the conference.
• Poster at the 2026 Society of Student-Run Free Clinics Annual Conference: "Privacy-Preserving Local AI for Clinic Platform", with Riyan Townsley and Brenden Tu, on running AI models inside the clinic so patient data never leaves the building.

Lead Developer, Atlas, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center

Aboud Lab

Jul 2026 to present · Sacramento, California

Atlas is an AI research platform built for the Aboud Lab, a neuro-oncology lab at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Every day it reads new papers, clinical trials and funding announcements in the field and turns them into a knowledge graph of genes, drugs, diseases and treatments, where every connection is backed by the exact sentence it came from. The lab's own publications sit on the same map, so researchers can see what the field knows, what the lab has already done, and where questions are still open.

• Pulls new records daily from PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, NIH RePORTER and Grants.gov through their official interfaces.
• A knowledge graph of more than 45,000 claims. Each concept is matched to standard biomedical vocabularies (HGNC, ChEBI, MONDO), so different names for the same thing, such as GBM and glioblastoma, become one entry.
• Strict evidence rules: a claim is kept only if its quote appears word for word in the source, and no identifier is accepted from a model without checking it against the vocabulary.
• A "Has it been done?" search that checks a research idea against the graph and PubMed before the lab invests time in it.
• Evidence-cited review of the lab's draft grant applications, with every finding linked to the papers behind it.
• Built with Python, Flask, SQLite and Claude models, running on AWS.

Software Engineer, Clínica Tepati

Sep 2024 to present · Sacramento, California

Built the clinic's set of software tools, which streamline operations and connect each part of the clinic. The work began with an inventory problem.

• Used by 200+ clinicians and staff.
• Improved compliance and cut time spent on routine operations by an estimated 30 to 50%.

Research Collaborator, University of California, Berkeley

Zohdi Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering

2025 to present · Berkeley, California

Worked with Professor Tarek Zohdi on whether the taste of a dish can be predicted from its ingredients, using mixing bounds from materials science. The work became the paper "Predicting food taste with bound-driven optimization".

Jr. Back-End Developer, PIPA LLC

Dec 2024 to present · Davis, California

Works with bioinformaticians and food scientists on an AI-driven formulation platform for CPG and food-manufacturing clients with nutritional and sensory product targets.
