About
A clinician at the frontier of AI.
I'm a radiologist. Most days I work on the medical safety and clinical accuracy of a language model, leading a team of clinicians at xAI to evaluate clinical reasoning, uncertainty, and evidence-grounded behavior in medical AI outputs. Previously, Managing Director of a charitable hospital, a nursing college, and a school serving rural and tribal communities in Maharashtra. Between the human and the machine there is a boundary still being drawn, and most of what interests me now lives in the quiet work of drawing it well.
Experience
A decade across clinical practice, hospital leadership, and frontier AI.
From pandemic-era triage to evaluation pipelines for frontier language models.
