Practicing Musculoskeletal and Emergency Radiologist. Demonstrated history of working in the hospital & health care industry. Skilled in Medical Devices, Medicine, Research, Emerging Markets, and Health Information Systems.

I’m an interventional radiologist and founder of GigHz, where I build physician-led healthcare platforms across radiology, clinical decision support, practice intelligence, and medical operations. My work sits at the intersection of medicine, AI, workflow design, and financial insight. Some of what I build is used directly in radiology. Some of it helps clinical teams make better decisions, reduce friction, or understand the economics behind care delivery. The goal is not to add more software. It’s to build systems that are useful, defensible, and grounded in how healthcare actually works. Current work across GigHz includes radiology reporting, clinical decision support, referral intelligence, imaging center and ASC financial modeling, procedure planning, and physician-facing digital platforms. I’m especially interested in products and partnerships that improve care quality, operational clarity, and real-world adoption in healthcare.Start here: gighz.com/intake/
