Work and research

Care, evidence, and ideas in progress.

My work spans a current hospital role, clinical research writing, health-technology projects, software, and questions outside medicine. The items below are at different stages; a research concept or prototype is not a clinical result.

Clinical practice

2026 to present

House Surgeon

Kasturba Medical College Hospital, Mangalore

I work with hospital teams on clinical assessment, documentation, communication, and continuity of care within my current role.

Projects

Built, tested, or still being explored.

Each entry names its current stage. Public repositories show software work; private work and research plans are described without claims of deployment or clinical validation.

Health technology

Open source / research prototype

Smart Glasses Clinical Platform

A simulator for clinical smart-glasses workflows, including capture, connection, voice, and device states. It has not been deployed in care.

Repository
Open source / early release

Clinical LiDAR Framework

An early research framework for calibrated three-dimensional wound-surface measurements and capture-quality checks. Clinical validation remains to be done.

Repository
Closed source / synthetic prototype

Clinical Feedback System

A synthetic prototype for collecting patient concerns and routing themes to a service owner. It does not handle clinical escalation or emergencies.

Private research workspace

BioVOC

A breath-VOC research programme developing questions about sampling, confounders, reference standards, and validation. No diagnostic performance claim is made.

Open source / research prototype

Disfigurement Index

A research prototype for structured documentation of appearance over time, with attention to measurement quality and patient experience.

Repository

Software systems

Open source / alpha

AI Routing Gateway

A public prototype for explainable model and workflow routing, with decisions that can be inspected and tested. It is not a measure of clinical performance.

Repository
Open source / foundation

AI Firewall

A public prototype that inspects outbound data before an AI request and can allow, redact, or block it. Deployment and real-world reliability remain separate questions.

Repository
Open source / research prototype

SystemBench

An evaluation framework for examining routing, tool use, provenance, safety, latency, and task success across an AI workflow.

Repository
Public repository / research framework

Reflection AI

A research framework for inspectable AI memory, including consent, provenance, deletion, and rollback controls.

Repository
Open source / experimental

Web of Thoughts

An experimental way to represent reasoning as inspectable relations and review records.

Repository
Closed source / private

Master LLM

A private venture developing local AI infrastructure for regulated work. Public performance and deployment claims are not available here.

Other explorations

Private research workspace

Periodic Table Research

An exploratory study of alternative ways to show relationships among elements while keeping standard names, symbols, and atomic numbers.

Private research workspace

Telomere Research

A research interest in how telomere biology relates to other measures of healthy aging. Study design and clinical meaning remain open.
