About

I am a medical student at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, pursuing my passion for psychiatry and neuroscience. My interests include understanding brain-behavior relationships, mental health treatment, and the potential of technology to improve healthcare delivery.

I've maintained this domain since 1994, when I first became fascinated with the World Wide Web as a middle school student. Now, that early technological curiosity is merging with my medical training to explore the future of digital health.

Philosophy

"Technology has always fascinated me, but I've come to realize its greatest potential lies in helping people. Medicine allows me to combine my lifelong interest in technology with the meaningful work of healing. The future of healthcare will be increasingly digital, and I want to be part of building that future—especially in mental health, where access to care remains a critical challenge."
