Agent Engineer at Nudge AI.

About

Mostly, I build things that talk.

Right now that's voice AI at Nudge in San Francisco — receptionists answering real patient calls for healthcare clinics across multiple states. When someone calls needing medical help, the bar isn't “pretty good” — it's perfect or it's nothing.

AI receptionists that answer the phones for healthcare clinics. I own each one from call-flow design to live deployment — 15+ running across multiple states, booking appointments, verifying insurance, and routing urgent calls with no hold.
