My name is Brian Dashore, a student doctor and self-taught hobbyist developer. I am currently in pursuit of my DO degree with a specialization in immunology.
From sixth grade, I was interested in medicine and learning how the human body works. I’ve always had an inherent desire to help people since so many helped me when I suffered through chronic illness. I have spent many years over studying biology, anatomy, nutrition, and other fields of medicine. Eventually, I was accepted to a BS/DO program in February of 2020 and have since matriculated into osteopathic medical school. From there, I am planning to study immunology and make a career/practice for myself.
I have presented in various conferences in Harvard Spaulding Hospital, Autism One, and the International Mold Congress for CEU credits.
On the developer side of things, I learned how to program in Python at age 15 and created a small mario-kart 2d-game in processing.py. However, I lost interest in programming due to a lack of project ideas. Eventually, I stumbled upon the Android community and built my own custom kernel in 2018 using C. In February of 2020, I started programming bots using the Discord, Twitch, and Twitter APIs. These bots are semi-popular, and I have designed them with goals of educating the public and making my social media life easier. The same principle applies to Apple applications that I created in to make various functions easier on end-user iDevices.
Currently, I work with AI and have dipped my toes into subfields such as Stable Diffusion and the use of LLMs for assistant related and character roleplay tasks.
I feel that development ties well into medicine since learning multiple languages/principles will allow me to succeed in future medical careers and possibly create my own healthcare-oriented software.
