Career Journey

Building an AI-native HealthOS platform with local, cloud-independent compute and a 1:17 human-to-agent ratio. Integrating 30+ years of life-science, health, and longevity experience into actionable AI assistants within a single platform. Focused on energy-efficient AI systems, platform architecture, and AI-native workflows.

Co-founded a venture focused on accelerating growth for AI and health startups. Developed product roadmaps, operating models, and KPI-driven execution strategies. Helped build scalable operations and growth foundations across early-stage technology companies.

Led technology transformation at Ada Health and oversaw development of new AI software medical-device products. Built and scaled an engineering organization of 100+ people to support rapid company expansion. Combined platform, product, and organizational leadership in a highly regulated digital-health environment.

Led cross-functional product, compliance, and cloud strategy across more than 20 major projects. Streamlined customer workflows and data processing while ensuring regulatory adherence. Worked closely with healthcare professionals to design telehealth workflows that improved patient engagement by more than 25%.

Co-founded the company and co-developed MiniMic, an AI-powered mini microscope. Built an image-processing pipeline for efficient data handling and analysis. Established university partnerships and contributed core technical assets ahead of acquisition by Intuity Media Lab.

Co-founded the company and led development of a novel robotic imaging machine for whole-organism screening. Delivered a system that increased diagnostic throughput and accuracy by 100×. Helped build the company to acquisition by BRUKER.

Co-founded the company and developed HIVE™, a high-speed data platform for large-scale scientific processing. Achieved data collection speeds of up to 10 GB/s with scalable storage and processing modules supporting up to 1 PB. Built core infrastructure for computationally intensive imaging and analytics workloads ahead of acquisition by BRUKER.

Founded and led the KIT Screening Centre focused on high-throughput in vivo screening, imaging, and cell-array technologies. Developed intelligent microscopes and high-speed data-processing systems for large-scale image analysis and bioinformatics. Built industry collaborations with Olympus and Leica and contributed to startup creation in biotechnology. Advised 30+ group leaders on technical development strategies as Co-Founder of the KIT Accelerator Lab.

Designed and deployed high-throughput screening platforms for the Human Genome Mitocheck project. Integrated Leica Microsystems and Olympus Europe technologies to improve data acquisition and analysis. PhD thesis: 'Development and evaluation of a modular high content screening platform for functional and bioinformatic genome analysis'.
