Time looked at me blankly Wind puffing its white dress. An organza billow, Half veil, half shroud.

I dip both hands in vermillion I grasp, I stain time with meaning I press it close - My handprints proof That something in this world was mine.

I’m prepping for my behavioral interview questions and thought it couldn’t hurt to publish them for future reference.

Tell me about yourself.

My digital health software engineering arc started back in highschool, when I developed the hardware and neural networks to record and classify EKG waveforms, such as tachycardias, bradycardias, escape, premature beats, etc. I was fascinated by the potential of already existing data and that one could have a positive impact on health by simply recognizing and extracting the patterns which already existed. That interest carried me to MIT where I majored in Brain and Cognitive Science to further a career at the intersection of healthcare and software.

Batteries are, in fact, not included in a modern Python environment. The missing components include:

• Package / project manager: uv
• Test runner: pytest
• Type checker: mypy
• Auto-documentation: mkdocs
• Auto-formatter: ruff
• Dependency validation: deptry
• LSP server: pyright

Enter cookiecutter, a tool for creating new projects from a template. A python project specific cookiecutter template allows me to quickly spin up a new project with these components included. To bring in my defaults and idiosyncrasies (e.g. emacs LSP configuration), I forked cookiecutter-uv. To use it the first time call:

I was the technical co-founder and CTO at Regard, a digital health company I helped bootstrap and grow alongside my two co-founders, Eli (CEO) and Nate (COO / Sales). Today, Regard has found its clinical niche: post a $360M series B valuation it’s used in over ten health systems and has assisted with more than seven million notes.

But back in 2016, before it was a company, before we knew what a clinical note was, it was just the three of us in search of a problem. The classic startup inversion of cause and effect.

My father, Thomas Armand Moulia, pulled the Ellis Island passenger manifests from 1913 documenting when his grandfather, Armand Moulia, came to the states. Armand was ten years old at the time and travelling in the care of his fourteen year old sister, Julie. My father was trying to trace Armand and Julie’s origins, however the records of origin and destination are phonetically misspelled, likely because they were young and only spoke Basque. To figure out where old Armand Senior came from, we’ve been trying to decipher them.
