About

Most writing about medicine is either aspirational (pre-med content) or retrospective (attending memoirs). Most writing about health tech is written by people who’ve never seen a patient.

I’m somewhere in the middle — an MS3 in active clerkships, founder of the popular Rounds app, with a background in software engineering and ML. I write to make sense of what I’m actually seeing, building, and deciding.

This is not a blog about productivity or motivation. It’s a record of thinking from an unusual vantage point.

If you're a medical student, clinician, builder, or investor thinking about where medicine and technology are actually going — not where the press releases say they're going — subscribe to Side Effects.
