• Agentic AI systems — multi-step reasoning, tool use, and workflow orchestration in production environments
• Clinical decision support — real-time inference systems embedded in healthcare workflows
• Behavioral health AI — models for mental health and chronic condition management at scale
• Production ML systems — end-to-end development across training, evaluation, and deployment
• Forward deployment — embedding AI systems directly into product and clinical teams

Human Signals — Writing

Human Signals is Parag Chandiwal's essay series exploring AI, data, and what it means to be a person in an age of machine intelligence. Essays are written as interactive web experiences combining prose, data visualization, and design.

Featured essay: "What's Left" — an interactive exploration of time remaining in a human life. The essay maps sleep, work, seasons, friendship, time with parents, and the hours that quietly disappear, turning age into a quantitative but deeply personal map of what remains. Quote: "You do not feel a life in percentages. You feel it in parents, mornings, and the years that quietly disappear." URL: https://chandiwal.com/blog/whatsleft/
