I’m a technology entrepreneur and Forbes 30 Under 30, with 15+ years of experience building products across healthcare, fintech, and data-driven industries. What I’ve learned over time is that the real challenge isn’t just building technology—it’s making it actually work in the real world, where systems are messy, workflows are complex, and decisions carry real consequences. I’ve always been drawn to problems that sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations. Whether it’s improving how data moves between systems or helping teams collaborate more effectively, I focus on simplifying what's unnecessarily complicated. The goal is always the same: build solutions that people actually use and trust. Lately, a lot of my focus has been on how AI fits into this picture. Not just what it can do in theory, but how it behaves in practice—how it impacts workflows, where it adds value, and where it still needs human judgment. I tend to approach work with curiosity and a long-term mindset. I like understanding how things really function beneath the surface, asking better questions, and working closely with teams to build something meaningful. At the end of the day, I care about creating systems that make people’s work easier, decisions clearer, and outcomes better.

Through Prime Vitality Care's HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, Dr. Goel brings the same standard of clinical depth and personalization to patients nationwide that San Antonio patients have relied on in person — with lab coordination through local Quest Diagnostics or CPL sites and all prescriptions compounded and shipped directly to patients.
