A Career Dedicated to
Saving Lives

Board-certified anesthesiologist and full-time faculty member at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, specializing in trauma care with a distinguished military medical career spanning three continents.

With dual degrees from Rutgers University, a medical degree from the Uniformed Services University, and advanced training across three countries, I bring a uniquely multidisciplinary perspective to patient care. My experience spans from operating rooms at premier academic medical centers to forward-deployed military medical units and NATO maritime operations. Along the way, I've built lasting professional relationships with physicians across the US, UK, Europe, and the Pacific.

Beyond clinical practice, I am an inventor holding a US patent for the Next Generation Junctional Tourniquet, and a published researcher with contributions to military medicine and anesthesiology journals.

These experiences — and the global network of colleagues I've built — led me to co-found Aksanio, where we apply real-world clinical insight to build technology that actually serves the physicians and facilities that need it.

Why I Co-Founded Aksanio

After years of working in hospitals across three continents — from US trauma centers and NHS trusts to NATO deployments — I kept seeing the same problems: fragmented systems, outdated facility data, and tools built by people who've never set foot in an OR. My co-founders and I started Aksanio to change that.

We build healthcare technology grounded in what physicians actually need, informed by a global network of doctors who advise, test, and shape everything we create.
