About

A surgeon, learning to build.

I'm a postgraduate resident in general surgery — training toward the operating room while teaching myself to ship software on the side. Most of what I build sits at the overlap of the two: tools that make surgical training sharper, and small products that teach me how to build anything at all. I move fast, ship early versions, and figure the rest out from there.

Clinical training
General surgery residency, hands-on in the OR and the wards.
Building
Shipping small software products, one MVP at a time.
Teaching
Preparing and delivering seminars for fellow residents.
Selected Work

What I'm building

In development

AI Surgical Video Editor

A prompt-driven editor for surgical teaching footage — type what you want and get an edited teaching reel back. Prototyping the pipeline on the public Cholec80 laparoscopic dataset before moving to footage from my own hospital. First milestone: automatic highlight reels that cut out idle time; free-text prompt editing comes next.

Dataset: Cholec80 (public) → hospital footage
Awaiting API approval

Automated Review Generator

A SaaS tool that helps businesses request and generate authentic customer reviews automatically. Built end-to-end and largely ready to ship — currently waiting on Google API approval before launch.

Status: build complete · pending approval
Teaching

Seminars & talks

Alongside clinical training, I regularly prepare and deliver teaching seminars for fellow residents — breaking down topics using Bailey & Love, Sabiston and Schwartz as my core references.
