I build at the intersection of health, performance, and AI.

Healthcare, biotech, human performance. These keep being the places where the hardest, most consequential problems live, and where I've found I do my best work.

I co-founded Circle Medical through Y Combinator (S15). We grew it to $114M in revenue run rate on $12M in primary capital, serving 400,000 patients across 30+ states with 425 providers. It was acquired by WELL Health Technologies.

Three things I learned building Circle that shaped how I think about this space:

Healthcare waste is real, but it's not where people think it is. Every "simple automation target" we tackled (billing coding, support triage, insurance verification) turned out to be six interlocking problems wrapped around clinical, legal, and operational dependencies. The waste is organ fat, not visceral fat. You can't just cut it out. You need imaging first.

AI doesn't replace complexity. It navigates it. When we automated 45 support staff roles in 8 weeks during a crisis, it worked because we understood every upstream dependency, every conditional workflow, every edge case. The technology was the easy part. The diagnosis was the hard part.

Small teams with the full picture outperform large teams without it. $114M revenue on $12M in capital isn't an accident. It's what happens when the people building the product also understand the clinical workflows, the business model, and the regulatory constraints, and can hold all of it in their heads simultaneously.

That last point is increasingly what I think about. The boundaries between engineering, product, design, and operations are dissolving. The builders who thrive now are the ones who hold the whole vision and can execute across all of it. That's where my non-linear background (design, product, founding, operations) becomes a compounding advantage rather than a scattered resume.

I also co-founded iollo (YC S22), a metabolomics biotech startup. Before startups, I was a 2012 Olympic semi-finalist in the 400m hurdles, an experience that taught me more about sustained intensity, discipline, and performing under pressure than anything else in my life.

Right now I'm in Zurich, deep in exploration mode. Interviewing, prototyping, testing ideas, and building conviction about where to go next at the intersection of health and AI. I'm looking for the right people to build with.
