About

The problems worth solving rarely fit inside a single discipline. My career has taken me through semiconductors, computational neuroscience, IoT, AI, and healthcare—not because I was chasing industries, but because the most interesting problems refused to stay in one. Today, I build AI platforms and distributed systems for healthcare, where reliability, scalability, and clinical impact matter just as much as clever algorithms. The platform processes 5M+ scans a year with petabyte scale DICOMs across 2500+ hospitals. My work spans medical imaging, machine learning infrastructure, cloud platforms, computer vision, and large language models, but the common thread has always been the same: understand the problem deeply enough that the technology becomes the obvious part. I'm naturally drawn to first-principles thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and systems that scale. I enjoy learning unfamiliar domains, questioning assumptions, and building products that simplify complexity rather than hide it. If there's a hard problem sitting at the intersection of multiple fields, that's usually where you'll find me. I occasionally write about AI, healthcare, distributed systems, engineering and other ramblings on Medium. medium.com/@prateekkarkare
