From Medicine to Machine Learning: My Journey as a Software Engineer and Medical Scholar
Explore My WorkHello! I'm Joey Ampfer, a passionate individual who has journeyed from the world of medicine to the realm of software engineering. My academic path began at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, where I not only excelled as a medical student but also explored the fascinating intersection of healthcare and technology. This exploration led me to found the "AI in Medicine Interest Group" at UK COM, fostering a community keen on integrating AI into medical practices.
Recently, I've pivoted towards software engineering, driven by a desire to directly impact technology in healthcare. I'm currently engaged in self-learning coding, having completed Harvard's renowned CS50 course, and am actively involved in various software projects. My journey is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary learning and the endless possibilities it brings.
