I build healthcare decision infrastructure: tools for evidence, review, escalation, and institutional memory.

Most of my work is in healthcare systems where decisions need to be explainable after the fact.
That has meant clinician communication tools, care navigation, physician financial infrastructure, clinical AI review, and evidence workflows for disputed medical claims. The adjacent work — public-knowledge provenance, AI governance, writing, and small infrastructure projects — comes from the same concern: decisions should leave a record people can actually use.
I am usually interested in the layer beneath the interface: who owns the decision, what evidence was available, what gets logged, what happens when the system is wrong, and whether the reasoning can be reconstructed later.

Most repos include a demo GIF at docs/assets/repo-demo.gif and an OG image at docs/assets/repo-og.png.
The projects also share a visual system. Repo metadata drives scene type, accent color, preview cards, README GIFs, and social images across kanav.net, nextconsensus.com, ethotechnics.com, and thecrumple.zone.
- What evidence was available when the healthcare decision was made?
- Who owned the call?
- Could the decision be reviewed later?
- What happens when the system is wrong?
- Can a clinician, patient, reviewer, or operator escalate the issue?
- Is the interface reducing work, or moving it somewhere less visible?
- Is the AI system being evaluated through artifacts people can inspect?
- Early product lead for Doximity Dialer.
