What I’m doing now, what I’m paying attention to, and what is shaping my days.

The /now page is part of a movement started by Derek Sivers and Gregory Brown, encouraging people to keep a simple page about their current focus.

Work / Research

  • Building and studying clinically grounded AI systems for healthcare.
  • Working around LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, medical AI evaluation, FHIR, and clinical documentation workflows.
  • Thinking about how AI tools can support clinical work without flattening clinical judgment.

Learning

  • Deepening my understanding of AI agents, healthcare data standards, evaluation methods, and knowledge systems.
  • Reading papers and translating what I learn into notes, talks, and practical experiments.
  • Continuing to improve how I explain difficult ideas across clinical and technical communities.

Building

  • Small systems for organizing knowledge, tasks, research notes, and daily review.
  • Healthcare-related tools and prototypes that connect clinical knowledge with usable software.
  • This website as a calmer personal home for notes, projects, and current questions.

Life

  • Practicing music, especially French horn, as a long-term craft outside work.
  • Keeping exercise, reading, reflection, and simple routines as anchors.
  • Looking for ways to live with more clarity, usefulness, and spaciousness.

Questions I keep returning to

  • How can AI tools make healthcare work safer, clearer, and more humane?
  • What kinds of personal systems actually help people think and live better?
  • How can I move between pharmacy, software, research, teaching, and life without reducing myself to only one identity?
