- Own systems end to end, from architecture through production operation.

- Shape technical strategy with the founders and define how success is measured.

- Iterate quickly using feedback drawn from live usage data.

- Prior founder experience, or senior engineering experience gained before AI coding tools became common.

- Experience at early-stage startups or health technology companies.

- Experience building and deploying LLM or agent systems in production.

- Experience with automated phone calling systems.

- Background from a leading engineering university.

- Experience as a student-athlete.
