Work

I founded Visipill in Tampa in 2018 and lead its product. Visipill makes a smart medication-dispensing appliance for patients at home, and VisipillRx, workflow software for pharmacies. Alongside it I consult for startups, small businesses, nonprofits, churches and ministries, and the trades on AI adoption, product strategy, building software, and operations. Earlier ventures include RxConsultant, KloudMD and Precision Pharmacy Management.

Faith and teaching

For more than 25 years I have taught in the Coptic Orthodox Church: as a catechist, as a youth ministry coordinator, and training the servants who teach Sunday school. I am Director of Online Bible Content for the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States, and I have written more than eight devotional plans on the YouVersion Bible App, published on the Coptic Orthodox Church page there. I also founded Orthodox Forge (serious Coptic Orthodox teaching, straight from the Fathers) and built the Orthodoxy tools on this site.

Writing

I write essays on faith, work, and meaning on Substack. Read them, or subscribe to get each new one by email, at andrewassad.substack.com. I also write Coptic Orthodox teaching for Orthodox Forge at theorthodoxforge.substack.com.
