How I build
I focus on AI systems that answer from real sources and run as working software, not demos that fall apart on the first hard question.
Right model for each task
I route work across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini based on what each does best, instead of forcing one model to do everything.
Retrieval over guessing
I ground answers in a document corpus so users can trace where an answer came from.
Domain judgment
Nine years in a high-acuity setting taught me where tools fail under pressure, and I design with that in mind.
Case study: CardioBot
A multi-model RAG assistant that answers clinical questions, reads EKG images, and handles dose calculations. It shows the full pattern: retrieval, multimodal input, and routing in one working app.
The problem
Decision support needs to be fast and tied to published guidance. A single general-purpose model is neither reliably grounded nor equally good at text, images, and math.
The approach
Guideline passages live in ChromaDB for retrieval. Claude Sonnet handles questions, Gemini Vision reads EKG images, and GPT-4 handles calculations. LangGraph coordinates the workflow.
