AI expert witness with 15+ years building, deploying, and auditing 100+ production AI systems. Rare combination of practitioner, scholar, and researcher - the expert opposing counsel can't dismiss as "just an academic" or "just an engineer." Most AI experts fall into one category: academics who've never shipped production code, or engineers who can't write a defensible report. I've done both - built AI systems at Harvard Medical School, Apple, and federal agencies while publishing award-winning peer-reviewed research on AI ethics and large language models. This dual foundation creates opinions that survive Daubert challenges and cross-examination.
Technical expertise spans multiple domains, including healthcare AI and insurance bad faith litigation, including prior authorization algorithms, utilization management systems, AI-driven claim denials, and clinical decision support failures. Deep experience with LLM hallucinations and defective outputs including GPT, Claude, and Llama fa...
