Principles
What I believe
Do good for the sake of doing good.
Not for recognition, not for reward, not for leverage. The work is the point. If helping people requires a reason beyond the help itself, the motivation is wrong.
Be the leader and strength that the world needs.
Don't wait for permission. Don't wait for someone else to go first. If you see a problem and you have the ability to act, act.
Light the dark, and uplift those who stand in need.
Strength is for service. Knowledge is for sharing. Every advantage is an obligation to help someone who doesn't have it yet.
Reject conventional paths when conviction demands it.
I left surgical residency to build AI for medicine. The decision made no sense to most people at the time. But following conviction over convention is the only way to do work that actually matters.
Solve from first principles.
Don't apply existing tools to new problems — understand the problem deeply enough to build the right tool. This applies to medicine, to AI, to building companies.
Work at the highest leverage.
A surgeon can save hundreds of lives in a career. An AI system can help millions. Choose the path where your effort multiplies the most.
