AI Applications
I'm building GLP-1 Observer, an independent tracker of the obesity-drug landscape. It includes a live clinical-trial dashboard and plain-English Field Guides. The GLP-1 Verdict provides a standardized assessment of efficacy, tolerability, and evidence strength. The GLP-1 Subway is a scroll-through explainer of how GLP-1 medicines work, set as a subway ride. Read more about why I'm building this.
Most recently, in my career at Harvard Medical School, I specialized in applying machine learning and large language models to analyze educational data, with a particular focus on understanding student learning patterns in online environments. My research combined quantitative analysis of structured learning data with AI-powered analysis of unstructured content like student comments, video transcripts, audio, images, and quiz question text.
I also founded and led HMX, an online learning product from Harvard Medical School. I built an interdisciplinary team, developed the product vision, and led the creation of an online learning platform and a range of unique, interactive online courses, from immunology to genetics to AI in medicine, with an emphasis on active learning and applying learning science to help people optimize their experience. I also have a strong technical background (originally computer science from MIT).

View project →I made the GLP-1 Subway, a scroll-through explainer of GLP-1s to help people explore how these drugs work. For people who are already familiar with GLP-1s, this resource can be shared to help explain them to others like patients, family members, or new hires. It’s harder to describe than to...
How do you keep a fact-dense web page current when the facts change every week? Think of a Wikipedia article about something in the news. Wikipedia solves this with a swarm of editors. My pages need the same type of vigilance, and they have one editor: me.
Your past AI sessions are more valuable than you think. Over the last few months building a biotech tracking app and newsletter, I’ve accumulated hundreds of sessions in coding agents like Claude Code. I recently started treating those transcripts not as disposable history, but as a detailed record of how...
