WHAT I'VE BUILT
EVENT
TEDxOMCH stage

TEDxOsmania Medical College

Founded and ran two editions from nothing. Led a 27-person team, curated speakers, secured sponsorship, 100+ attendees each time. Built the room a talk happens in — looking for the stage next.

PLATFORM
Payload — a nuclear medicine dispatch

Payload →

A cinematic-science framework for teaching nuclear medicine — built on visual cognition, physics-grounded metaphor, and narrative sequencing. Presented at SNMMI 2026.

PROGRAM
IIM Ahmedabad MPM-Cx certificate

IIM Ahmedabad

Formal training in healthcare strategy, innovation, and leadership. Clinical excellence and systems thinking aren't substitutes for each other — I wanted both.

RESEARCH
AI × NUCLEAR
MEDICINE

Where AI fits in

I research and publish at the intersection of AI and nuclear medicine — most recently on large language models, accepted at EANM 2026. The field is underprepared for what's coming.

WHAT I'M OPEN TO

If you don't see your reason here, that's not a disqualifier. It's probably just a conversation I haven't had yet.

MY STORY

I came to medicine through curiosity, not convention.

Biology showed me the body's intelligence. Physics showed me the forces underneath it. Technology showed me how far both could be pushed. Nuclear medicine is the one field where all three collide — where you don't just diagnose disease, you track it, watch it respond, watch it surrender in real time.

Most of medicine still doesn't fully understand this specialty. That gap is why Payload exists: I wanted the science that's actually saving lives to be legible to anyone curious enough to ask, not just the people already inside the room.

The future of this field won't be built in silos. It gets built when clinicians, researchers, technologists, and policy people collide. That's the work I'm looking for now.
