Work Experience

For the the last six years, I have worked at a company called Lumis Corp (Lumis for short). Lumis is a technology company that creates training systems for the purpose of healthcare simulation.

I began at Lumis as a as a part-time student software engineering intern in 2020, and transitioned to a full-time employee after graduation. Over the years, I rose to the role of VP of Product and Software Development, and for the last three years I have led all software development efforts at the company.

Lumis was a startup, and as such I was called upon to wear many hats. Here are some of the things I worked on.

  • The InSight Platform uses projection technology to overlay high definition visuals of virtual patients over top of any surface. It comes pre-programmed with hundreds of learning scenarios sourced from subject matter experts, as well as a AI-powered Content Authoring Toolkit that allows instructors to tailor learning to fit their needs.

    The InSight Platform consists of a blend of technologies, with integrated cameras for machine-learning driven computer vision, external sensors communicating via BLE, and tablet controllers controlling scenarios over the local network.

    You can see a product demo of it here.

  • I did full-stack development on two separate applications, both currently accessible on the iOS and Google Play stores.

    The first app is an augmented-reality application that allows learners to explore within critical structures to better view abnormal conditions (e.g. getting a close-up view of an abnormal heart valve). It also can be used as a “controller” to communicate drive scenarios running on the InSight Platform AR Unit by communicating over the local network. Here is a video of it in practice.

    The next application is designed to communicate via BLE with our suite of standalone Smart Peripherals. As learners use the Smart Peripherals, the devices will assess learner performance and stream real-time feedback to the instructor running our application.

  • Smart Peripherals are sensor-based tools that measure hands-on interactions performed by learners and give real-time feedback. During my time at Lumis, I helped develop tools to assess IV drug administration, ventilation via bag-valve mask, intubation, CPR, auscultation, ultrasound assessments, needle-chest decompressions, and administration of intranasal naloxone.

    All Smart Peripherals communicate with the InSight Platform via BLE, and their assessment of hands-on interactions drive the scenarios and feedback for learners.

    In 2025, we also adapted several of the peripherals so that they can also be offered as standalone products for a simpler, more portable training.

    You can see them in action here.

  • One of my first major projects was developing a Content Authoring Toolkit (CAT) that gave instructors complete control over scenarios - they can pre-program patient vitals, structure scenarios, and create their own courses and lessons from scratch.

    CAT was an immediate boon to customers; rather than reach out to us for custom scenarios, instructors could build what they wanted instantly.

    However, after discussions with clinical advisors, we realized we could do more. Although programming scenarios via CAT was a simple process, the mental load of coming up with a scenario - from patient background information to learning objectives - could sometimes take hours.

    With that in mind, we integrated AI endpoints into our content authoring. Now, instructors can simply tell CAT what they scenario they want to build, and it will instantly build out all necessary information program it into CAT for instant training with learners.

  • Beyond pure engineering work, I was also contributed really anywhere I was needed. Depending on the day, I was on the road on sales calls, working with customers to develop custom content, writing and videoing tutorial videos, helping write grant applications, or running one of our quarterly webinars to highlight new products.

Here I am announcing the release of a new product at the “What’s New in Simulation” showcase at the International Meeting for Healthcare Simulation in 2025.
