Redefining possible
Advances in AI algorithms and infrastructure over the last five years have fundamentally altered the way we create—and the frontier of the possible—in tech and biological sciences.The real winners are those who hold two opposites at once: awe at this leap in our ability to learn structure by throwing mountains of compute at piles of data; and, respect for the power embodied knowledge and creativity still have to dramatically reduce the size of the pile needed and amplify the impact of what's learned.I bring more than a decade of multidisciplinary experience building at the bleeding edge of tech and bio to help you amplify the promise—and weed out the hype.
Refusing limits
The most important problems never fit neatly into one box. I bring experience earned across a career defying labels at the frontiers of multiple disciplines:decoding speech and movement directly from the human brain; detecting seizures from consumer wearables; training as a physician-scientist; discovering a new form of brain computation hidden between the neurons; leveraging language models to quantify how mental health changes day-by-day from Reddit posts; developing the mathematics of mind and consciousness independent of substrate; founding and architecting the technical platform for a venture-backed startup from the ground up; developing a new language for AI agents to write formally-verifiable, bare-metal code.Your toughest challenges deserve expertise that sees every horizon at once.
