About

Professional summary

I am an AI-native software engineer and full-stack developer who builds and ships production iOS and web applications using a deliberate human-in-the-loop development model. I use Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI tools to accelerate implementation while personally reviewing, testing, and correcting every meaningful change before release.

I have designed and launched AI-powered products using SwiftUI, Next.js, Supabase, Anthropic Claude API, Stripe, RevenueCat, and Vercel. My work includes conversational AI products, SaaS applications, healthcare calculators, marketing sites, technical SEO implementations, and iOS applications distributed through TestFlight.

I bring deep experience in LLM application development, including serverless AI endpoints, chatbots, prompt engineering, model migrations, AI code review, and hallucination detection. I build secure systems with authentication, Row-Level Security, signed cookies, OAuth, REST APIs, payments, and data integrations.

Before software engineering, I practiced for more than 15 years as a board-certified general surgeon. That background developed my rigor around checklists, safety, privacy, verification, ownership, and making high-stakes decisions under real-world constraints.

I also have substantial healthcare domain knowledge, hands-on EHR experience, research experience, and a history of teaching more than 1,000 trainees. I apply these strengths to create reliable, user-focused products, particularly in healthcare, AI, and data-sensitive environments.

Career history

Founder & Lead AI-Native Engineer Metamorphosis LLC & Living Healthier, LLC

I serve as the sole engineer for a portfolio of AI-assisted iOS and web products, owning requirements, architecture, implementation, verification, and deployment. I use a repeatable workflow in which Claude develops a plan, Cursor generates reviewable code diffs, and I manually test and validate each change through local runs, curl checks, and deployment verification.

I designed and launched 20 Minute Truce, an AI-powered SwiftUI application using Supabase, Anthropic Claude API, and RevenueCat. I also build Next.js SaaS products, AI chatbots, business websites, calculator platforms, and technical SEO implementations using Git, GitHub, Vercel, Cloudflare, Stripe, GoHighLevel, Resend, and Google Analytics.

Medical Consultant Living Healthier, LLC

I founded and led commercialization efforts for biophotonic scanning technology. I developed programs to help healthcare professionals understand and apply scan data in practical settings.

I combined clinical expertise, healthcare education, and business leadership to support product adoption and professional training. This work strengthened my understanding of healthcare technology, data interpretation, and user education.

General Surgeon & Lead Surgeon Weatherby Locum Tenens; Minimally Invasive Surgical Specialists; Bayfront Health

I practiced as a general and lead surgeon across multiple facilities, performing more than 350 da Vinci robotic procedures as a primary surgeon. I served as a subject-matter expert for the da Vinci platform and operated within rigorous clinical safety protocols and verification processes.

I adapted to varied hospital systems, standards, and team workflows while using Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), athenahealth, and MEDITECH for documentation, orders, and results review. This experience provided direct insight into EHR usability, healthcare data handling, and clinical workflow needs.

Field Surgeon Missouri Army National Guard

I served as a field surgeon and led and mentored military medics. I designed readiness training programs for military personnel.

The role required leadership, structured training, operational preparedness, and clear communication in high-accountability environments.

General Surgery Resident & Adjunct Clinical Instructor Mercy Medical Center / DMU-COM

I completed general surgery residency training while serving as an adjunct clinical instructor. I trained more than 1,000 medical students in technical and clinical skills.

I developed strong teaching, mentoring, process-standardization, and team communication skills through repeated instruction and supervision of trainees.

Research Specialist Radiopharmaceuticals Research Institute

I conducted thousands of in vivo pharmacokinetic studies and analyzed complex research datasets. I reported study findings and results to research sponsors.

I maintained compliance with federal safety regulations for radioactive materials and contributed to radiopharmaceutical and cancer-therapy research.
