About

I'm an engineering manager at Phantom. I'm very excited about bringing crypto applications and web3 to the masses. Previously I attended Duke University and earned a B.S.E in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in Biomaterials and Biomechanics. I've worked throughout the healthcare industry ranging from field work in low-income hospitals to launching the first ACA Health Insurance Exchanges to building out the guts of the insurance and telemedicine platforms at Oscar Health and starting a cancer-tech platform from the ground up at Alula.
