About

I began working with Deborah Estrin as a graduate student at UCLA. My masters project involved extending ohmage (then AndWellness) to measure a person’s sleep habits. I enjoyed working on ohmage so much that I stayed on after graduating as a server-side software developer. Around this time, ohmage began working with Open mHealth to become the first reference implementation. I have since been a full-time developer working to extend ohmage and its Open mHealth implementation, as well as a contributor to the specification.
