Valiance Health

April 2026 - Current
  • Cut surgical price-prediction error 46% (MAPE 0.74 → 0.40) and training compute ~90% with anchored LightGBM/CatBoost quantile ensembles and calibrated 90% prediction intervals.
  • Scaled medical-code review to 507k patient cases with a human-in-the-loop platform built end to end: a calibrated model auto-applies at a 99%-precision gate, sends uncertain cases to reviewers, and retrains on each audited decision.
  • Reduced daily hospital revenue-forecast error 40–71% vs baseline (R² up to 0.79) with a per-org voting ensemble and calibrated 90% prediction bands.
  • Sped up ML releases 4–6x (~12 min → 2–3 min deploys) with change-detection Docker builds, and took S3 off the request path with a memory-mapped model cache.
  • Met enterprise security requirements by shipping single sign-on (OIDC) end to end in one week: tenant-isolated provisioning, audited break-glass access, and lockout guards.
  • Strengthened SOC 2/HIPAA posture: ran the Vanta-tracked container CVE program, added audit trails to auth and review writes, and closed a cross-tenant data exposure.

Featured Work

[01]

AI Trade Agent Harness

Local AI trading harness that converts company research, world context, journal memory, and 5-minute OHLCV into allocator targets, risk-checked order intents, and broker reconciliation.

  • Built bounded LLM research pipelines with provider search caps, ticker disambiguation, source-quality quarantine, prompt/version traces, retryable schedules, and durable PostgreSQL state across 53 trading and agent tables.
  • Engineered deterministic trading safety in Go, including stale-data rejection, cash-only sizing, position caps, turnover limits, lifecycle checks, Alpaca reconciliation, encrypted backups, and broker activity journaling.
  • Built a model-competition layer where DeepSeek, MiniMax, GLM, and Kimi run independent shadow portfolios, score their decisions against market outcomes, and identify the strongest model for operator-approved promotion into the next trading cycle.
