Leads NVIDIA Healthcare's developer engagement function: the team that turns research-grade medical AI into platforms healthcare organizations can actually deploy in the wild.

• Owns positioning across the medical-AI portfolio, from open foundation model launches (NV-Reason, NV-Segment, NV-Generate) to flagship narratives at GTC and MICCAI.
• Driving how the stack gets used in the agent era: structured developer surfaces (AGENTS.md, layered SKILL.md hierarchies across MONAI, Holoscan, and Isaac for Healthcare) so coding agents can navigate, compose, and ship against the platform.
• Ships open foundation models (reasoning, segmentation, generation, and vision-language) to the global medical research community.
• Hires and grows the team as the portfolio expands into surgical robotics (Isaac for Healthcare) and smart-hospital infrastructure (Metropolis).

• Launched the first 2 MONAI / Medical AI NVIDIA NIMs, productionizing medical-imaging models as enterprise inference microservices.
• Set the platform roadmap and led engineering collaboration on enterprise MONAI deployments.
• Drove microservices architecture decisions for medical-imaging AI workloads in clinical environments.
• Translated research advances into shippable platform features with the engineering team.

TECHNICAL MARKETING ENGINEER / AI EVANGELIST

Built MONAI's developer community from day one into a global open-source standard for medical-imaging AI.

• Grew MONAI to 9,000,000+ downloads as the open-source standard for medical-imaging AI.
• Seeded the ecosystem behind 5,000+ published papers citing MONAI in clinical and research work.
• Trained 10,000+ developers through workshops, bootcamps, and partner programs.
• Built a YouTube presence reaching 250,000 views, 20,000 watch-hours, and 5,500 subscribers.

AI DEVELOPER EVANGELIST

Taught AI to developers around the world, rotating each year through Intel's Enterprise, IoT, and Higher Education organizations.

• Lead instructor across Intel's developer-facing AI training catalog, reaching engineering teams worldwide.
• Authored core AI curriculum spanning CNNs, NLP, Reinforcement Learning, XGBoost, and IoT-adjacent inference.
• Delivered keynotes and technical sessions on emerging AI techniques at conferences, workshops, and partner events worldwide.
• Built academic AI curricula in partnership with third-party publishers.

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Shipped core platform systems on the Intel XDK, Intel's cross-platform HTML5/JavaScript IDE for hybrid mobile-app development.

• Built the App Designer, Intel XDK's visual UI builder for cross-platform mobile apps.
• Led the project system, notification system, and project-build coordination across both backend and UI.
• Owned version control and the update-patch system that handled migrations between toolset versions.
