About

I am a digital health entrepreneur and clinical anesthesiologist. I trained at the world-renowned Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas, and joined the faculty at Stanford University School of Medicine in the department of Anesthesiology from 2012-2021. My TEDx talk in 2023 focused on our data-driven solution to prevent and reduce opioid dependence around surgery, while leveraging technology to improve pain and patient outcomes. I’m currently the Chief Medical Officer of Lucid Lane, Inc, a digital health company I co-founded in 2018.
