Foundations
Miami
Computer science, mathematics, research, and my first digital-health systems.
ABOUT CARSON
Researcher. Engineer. Builder.
I work across research and engineering, with a long-running interest in health technology. My path has moved from computer science and mathematics to digital-health research, global platform engineering, engineering leadership, aging technology, and health informatics.

The through-line
I like systems that have to work outside a demo. At the University of Miami, that meant building research technology for older adults. At Zoom, it meant developer platforms used across healthcare, finance, automotive, technology, and other industries. At Weill Cornell, it means bringing that engineering perspective back into research on AI, aging, caregivers, usability, and digital health.
People before interfaces.
Clarity over complexity.
Build enough to learn something real.
Technology should earn trust.
PLACES / PERSPECTIVE
Three places shaped the work
Miami gave me the research foundation. Silicon Valley taught me scale. New York is where I am bringing those worlds back together.
Scale
Silicon Valley
Seven years building developer platforms, products, and engineering organizations at Zoom.
Research
New York
Now at Weill Cornell, bringing that engineering background into health informatics and AI research.

BEYOND WORK
A little more personal.
A few things that make the person behind the research and engineering feel a little less like a résumé.
Parent, plus two very fluffy cats
Being a parent makes questions about care, communication, and technology feel much less theoretical. Home also includes two Siberian cats who are excellent at stress-testing any tidy system.
Cities on foot — or a folding bike
I like learning a city by moving through it: long walks, neighborhood detours, and a Brompton when two wheels make more sense than two feet.
Thoughtful tools
I notice when something is clear, useful, modular, and quietly well designed — whether it is research software, an everyday object, or a system no one notices until it breaks.
A 5K is a family activity
I like family-friendly races and the low-stakes fun of moving through a city together. The finish time is rarely the interesting part.
Neighborhoods & good food
I enjoy finding a city through its neighborhoods, cafés, pizza counters, and the places people recommend to each other instead of the first page of a guidebook.
Connect
I'm always open to thoughtful conversations about research, technology, and things worth building.
