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.

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.
