He actively seeks opportunities at the intersection of technology, ethics, and surgery. As founder and CEO of KairoSys, he is currently leading development of an AI tool with a team of software engineers to accelerate medical device design by synthesizing user feedback, regulatory reports, and patent data into actionable patient-centered insights. He also studies surgical and patient-facing technology and helps develop a platform for medical record abstraction in clinical trials. Additionally, he leads research on head and neck cancer free-flap reconstruction, surgical outcomes following neoadjuvant immunotherapy, cochlear implant patient experiences on social media, and patient-centered surgical consent forms. He also volunteers as a student clinician/coordinator at Shade Tree Free Clinic, a health educator for previously incarcerated individuals, and a mentor for children affected by gun violence.
Throughout his medical journey, Daniel aspires to continue becoming a better person through each of my patients while spearheading surgical outcomes research, medical technology innovation, and advocacy for equitable healthcare and patients’ rights.
