Dentist building structured dental data systems
for forensic identification and future AI integration.


What I Do

I design systems that transform clinical dental data
into structured, computable formats.

My current work focuses on building a mobile odontogram system
for forensic identification, where each interaction is treated
as a structured data event rather than a visual annotation.


Why This Matters

Dental data is widely used in forensic identification,
but most existing systems rely on fragmented and non-computable formats.

I aim to address this gap by designing data architectures
that enable:

  • consistent data entry
  • large-scale comparison
  • integration with algorithmic and AI-based systems

Current Work

  • Mobile odontogram system (Flutter + Firebase)
  • Hierarchical dental data modeling (Interpol-based structures)
  • Multi-step data entry architecture with centralized state management

Background

  • Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)
  • Strong analytical foundation (GAI 131)
  • Transitioning from clinical practice to system design and AI

Writing

This blog documents the design decisions, trade-offs,
and system architecture behind building computable dental data systems.


Vision

To make dental data fully computable
and enable scalable forensic and healthcare systems
powered by structured data and AI.
