The path to the work
Across clinical research, real estate, and tax, I kept meeting the same problem: important decisions are harder when the evidence is difficult to see. That experience shapes the software I build now.
At USC Keck Medical Center’s Department of Radiology, I worked as a clinical research associate from December 2019 through December 2021. I reviewed charts and imaging data for research on bone metastases in lung cancer, then curated medical images and contributed writing on subcortical brain structures for a Thieme radiology text. It taught me to take both the evidence and the person reading it seriously.
Since 2019, my work as a property manager and Realtor has put decisions into a different kind of real-world setting. With Rentsparks, Pinnacle Estate Properties, Ashby & Graff, and Sotheby’s, I have handled leasing, marketing, tenant screening, vendor coordination, and service requests while keeping vacancy low and tenancies long. Renovations have meant coordinating plumbing, electrical, HVAC, flooring, paint, and fixtures.
At Christine Chang CPA and Spark + Stone, I help lead a 40-year family tax practice. Since 2020, and in a broader operating role since 2023, I have prepared or reviewed roughly 225 individual and business returns, supported planning and compliance, modernized document and backup workflows, and trained staff. Real estate returns and complex client situations have made clarity especially consequential.
Since 2025, I have also worked as an AI-native product design engineer through an independent portfolio of websites, apps, and applied-AI tools. I carry a project from its first question through interface, frontend and backend integration, deployment, and audit. The work spans clinical AI, tax and financial tools, real estate, and creative technology, always with an eye toward making a complex decision easier to understand and use.
