About

Physician-turned-Clinical-AI builder. I design and ship LLM systems that adjudicate health claims — combining 6+ years of bedside medicine with hands-on prompt engineering, model evaluation, and AI workflow design. At Vidal Health, I lead the AI side of claims adjudication and payment integrity: · • Built our fraud, waste & abuse (FWA) detection tool from scratch — now core to payment integrity operations · • Automated prior authorization for physiotherapy end-to-end, removing manual review from the loop · • Drove our AI cost-containment workflow to 99% accuracy through iterative prompt engineering and human-in-the-loop evaluation · • Engineered LMRP medical necessity mapping prompts to >95% accuracy against policy criteria · • Uncovered an additional 2% in claims savings via diagnosis-, provider-, and service-level cost analytics What makes my work different is clinical ground truth. Six years across critical care, cardiac emergencies, ICU ventilator and hemodynamic management, and general practice mean I know what a real chart looks like, what a diagnosis code should map to, and exactly where automation quietly fails. I write the medical logic an LLM can be trusted with — and the evaluation criteria to prove it. MBBS + Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine (Sri Venkateswara Medical College, Tirupati). I'm interested in senior roles at the intersection of medicine and AI — clinical AI development, LLM evaluation and safety, utilization management automation, payment integrity, and clinical informatics. If you're building AI that touches patient care or claims, let's talk.
