Building AI Systems for Healthcare: My Journey into Applied Machine Learning and Software Engineering

🧠 I Stopped Thinking in Machine Learning Models and Started Thinking in Systems (Here’s Why) And it completely changed how I build AI for healthcare. Most machine learning projects look impressive in isolation. You train a model, get good metrics, maybe even build a notebook demo—and it feels like progress. But when you try to turn that into something real, especially in healthcare, something breaks. That’s what pushed me to rethink everything. Instead of focusing on models, I started focusing
