Before law school, he had a career in health care analytics and technology, working with major health care companies on data-driven innovation.

He has advised leading health care organizations on complex regulatory, ethical, and compliance issues involving data protection and responsible AI. He currently serves as a privacy and security officer at a Fortune 25 health care company, where he tracks emerging privacy and AI regulations, advises on operationalizing legal requirements, and develops enterprise strategies for data and AI policy.
