I find the problem, ship the product, and own it in production.

At a dermatology clinic seeing 70 patients a day, I built an AI scribe against the documentation bottleneck and got it featured as a customer case study on Omi. Same-day chart completion moved from 60% to 95%. Since: six AI products shipped — four Omi agents (2,200+ users) and two native iOS apps in public beta.

Graham Dermatology × Omi

An always-on AI scribe for a clinic seeing 70 patients a day. Structured prompts, EMR-compatible note generation, and a workflow clinicians actually use. Deployed 2024–2025; case study published November 2025.

“Our notes are way more accurate and complete — no longer dependent on someone’s good or bad day. The AI gives us the same high-quality structure every time.”

— Eulices Lopez, as quoted in the Omi case study
What I owned

Records, transcribes, and generates structured HPI notes matched to the clinic’s EZDERM EMR templates. HIPAA-compliant. Used daily by doctors, nurses, and medical assistants.

03Deep dive · N.O.V.A.

The native half of “React Native.”

Most “React Native” apps lean on JavaScript wrappers. N.O.V.A. ships 8 custom Swift modules — real platform integration, not Expo plugins — plus a test suite guarding every change.

local fallback

Apple Intelligence runs on-device by default. When Foundation Models are unavailable, requests fall back to a local Ollama model — no dropped prompts, no developer-operated backend.

Architecture
  • —Dual AI provider with graceful fallback — Apple Intelligence → Ollama
  • —Local-first state: Jotai atoms + MMKV + iOS Keychain
  • —Clean deep-link migration — legacy scheme → novaai, backwards-compatible
  • —Cross-platform stubs — .web.ts shadows so the app builds on web for testing

// pick the usable provider, fall back cleanly

Currently building full-time — open to the occasional side quest

Off the clock, still shipping.

Happily heads-down in my current role — but the itch to build doesn’t clock out. I take on select contract work and team up on side projects in my spare time. Especially anything where a real user’s workflow is on the line.
