Now

Right now

• Building AI-enabled prior authorization and benefits experiences at DrFirst
• Building AI-native iOS apps like Etch
• Contemplating where AI belongs in my life — and what stays sacred

Focus

• DrFirst: building calmer, faster prior auth + benefits experiences (with AI doing the heavy lifting in the background).
• Etch: spaced repetition, built like Apple would — and pushing on what “AI-native learning” should actually feel like.
• AI: figuring out what to automate, what to augment, and what should remain human.

Learning

Lately I’m deep in memorization techniques for long passages of text and scripture — less trivia, more meaningful retention.
