001   About

I've spent 20+ years building things that didn't exist yet.

At Apple and BlackBerry I shipped regulated software at scale during two of the most consequential decades in consumer tech. Since then I've founded and led companies across AI, healthcare, and fintech, raised $12M+ in venture funding, and scaled teams from zero to 40+.

I'm now building BookHealth AI, the agentic AI front office for Canadian healthcare.

I don't build for incremental. I build for transformation.

The AI front office for clinics and care facilities.

Since Nov 2025

Agentic AI for the healthcare front office. Referral-to-booked-appointment in minutes, not days.

BookHealth runs a three-agent system across the front office. PHIPA and PIPEDA compliant, Canadian-hosted, and built to slot into existing EMRs without replacing them.

The fastest path is a call. If it's easier to send a note first, email or LinkedIn both land in the same place.
