Kyla: AI risk engine optimizing patient health and provider engagement
Co-Founder & Product/Growth Lead · 2018–present
Kyla is a health-risk platform powered by a Bayesian network — one I co-founded in 2018 — well before transformer-based LLMs and generative AI became mainstream — to impact long-term health in our clinical population.
The design challenge at Kyla was not just in building the risk engine - but in designing the layer between a probabilistic model and a human being making decisions about their health - without causing panic, false reassurance, or over-reliance on the system's outputs.

Chief Growth Officer · 2016–present
I built an attribution infrastructure that tied campaign spend through to delayed insurance reimbursements - assigning full patient revenue back to the campaigns that drove it, weeks after acquisition. Campaigns, landing pages, booking flows, review generation, and payment optimization, all tracked as a single funnel.

Impact - Design systems, ad infrastructure, and interactive work that scaled
From founding an NLP-driven news parser — built a decade before generative AI became mainstream — that I pitched on stage at LAUNCH Festival, to award-winning interactive sections for ESPN.com and bid-winning brand engagement - I don't just design, I create unique and effective systems.
