Helping build healthcare tools for preventative care and restoration of function.
I've worked across consumer neurotech, metabolic wellness, and medical diagnostics — bringing rigor from the elite sports world into healthcare. My work spans harmonizing 300M+ healthcare records, developing brain-computer interface demos for investors, and building metabolic health tracking tools.
Experience
Building Averin Health, an AI-powered contract analysis tool that extracts and compares contract details against EHR metrics to support value-based care negotiations for health executives. Leading data science and backend infrastructure development using Azure, Microsoft Copilot, Python, and InterSystems IRIS for EHR integration.
→ outcome
Runner-up in the 2026 Harvard Health Systems Innovation Hackathon — top 2% of 1,000+ participants.
Outreach to private neurology clinics across the US to integrate an EEG-based dementia detection and monitoring system. Fielding technical questions from clinicians regarding hardware specifications, validation against PET imaging, and FDA clearance.
→ outcome
Building commercial pipeline for a novel EEG-based dementia detection system across US neurology clinics.
Built full web and mobile app infrastructure (React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Deno) enabling metabolic insights for oncology patients on ketogenic therapy. Integrated KetoMojo API and OpenAI API. Ensured compliance with FTC Act wellness guidelines and HIPAA data storage requirements.
→ outcome
Integrated KetoMojo API and led technical launch — onboarded first paying users.
Developed EEG signal processing pipelines (FFT, FIR/IIR, feature extraction) and built ML models for novel brain metrics including cognitive speed and brain age. Worked directly with CEO and Lead ML Engineer to prototype a Large Brain Model using autoencoder and transformer architectures. Built and packaged internal Python desktop applications using GitHub Actions, Briefcase, AWS OIDC, and uv.
→ outcome
Built two investor demo applications used directly in Series A and Series B fundraising presentations.
Designed and maintained internal database processing 300M+ healthcare records. Implemented ETL pipelines with dbt, SQL, and Python to harmonize clinical data into Google Cloud Storage within HIPAA- and SOC 2-controlled environments. Collaborated with clinical and engineering teams to define logic for derived clinical endpoints for sepsis and AKI early detection. Regularly produced analyses used to inform FDA communications and submissions.
→ outcome
Biocogniv achieved Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) for the sepsis diagnostic tool developed during my tenure. Built the AKI equivalent for a second BDD.
Walk-on student-athlete who earned a starting role. Served as lead data analyst for four seasons — constructed and presented pre-match and post-match statistical reports to coaching staff and players in addition to full player responsibilities.
→ outcome
Program rose from unranked to #4 nationally during my tenure, including a 2021 AE Championship and NCAA Tournament runs to the Elite 8 and Sweet 16. Six months after my departure, the program won the 2024 National Championship.
Built ticket sales forecasting models for the marketing team to inform ticketing, concession, and parking decisions. Analysis incorporated geographic data, customer purchase behavior, and game-level variables. Presented forecasting reports to the ticketing team to inform price setting.
→ outcome
Forecasting model adopted by the marketing team for ongoing pricing and inventory decisions.
Live-tagged events in training and matches using Spiideo. Constructed and presented opposition analyses to coaching staff. Occasionally served as a training player.
→ outcome
Team was consistently ranked in the top 3 of the USL Championship during my time with the club.

Drever Data is Tucker’s independent consulting practice. Engagements focus on early-stage health tech companies that need hands-on data science, ML engineering, and regulated systems expertise.
Engagements
For Harvard HSIL
Averin Health
↗AI-powered contract analysis tool for health executives navigating value-based care negotiations. Averin extracts and compares contract details against EHR metrics — surfacing performance gaps, risk exposure, and negotiation leverage. Built on Azure with Python and InterSystems IRIS for EHR integration.
For NuOnc
Metabolic Tracking App
↗The NuOnc app tracks ketone and glucose data over time for oncology patients on ketogenic therapy. This work is inspired and advised by the Glucose-Ketone Index (GKI) research of Dr. Thomas Seyfried of Boston College. Shown here is the 30-day metabolic dashboard with KetoMojo integration and the AI assistant "Mito" for patient guidance.
For Neurable
Brain Age and Large Brain Model Demos
The Neurable Brain Health and Large Brain Model desktop applications — two of a suite of Python apps built to demonstrate non-invasive BCI utility to investors and partners. The former uses two minutes of EOEC EEG data to predict brain age; the latter tokenizes live EEG using an autoencoder and transformer architecture.
For MIT Solve
HarmonaHealth
↗HarmonaHealth is a population-based anticipatory health platform prototyped for the MIT Solve competition. The system models health risk across communities to surface intervention opportunities before disease outbreaks and onset.
Independent
Best.XI
↗Recruiting and lineup selection software for NCAA D1 soccer programs. Annual subscription model, sold door-to-door to coaches.
