I am a curious learner who is devoted to exploring new and different ways of being. This has manifested in positions that involve being a founder or supporting founders. I was most recently the chief of staff at an AI startup in stealth building clinical decision support tools via a foundation model.
In my free time, I support clinicians and inventors in the Weill Cornell Medicine ecosystem through their BioVenture eLab as a mentor. I also write social criticism stuff for Blasé Raire.
I’m currently following my curiosity and experimenting with learning.
I send out a newsletter (previous issues) with updates on what I’m building, reading, thinking. It’s often accompanied by a new thinkpiece or essay about whatever I'm currently exploring. If you like my work, I’d love it if you subscribed!
You can find me tweeting, thinking about complexity (I keep a complexity learning journal), and swimming.
I write reflective essays to explore things like psychosocial phenomena, (bio)tech “whys”, complexity, and am a bit of a self-proclaimed critic. If you want to read my writing, you can start with my technical pieces like Human-AI Interaction Models, or one of my more popular pieces:
Transcendence: An Emergent Career Life
The Ramanujan Theory of Genius
From Physics Envy to Biology Envy
How To Know What To Do
Pāṇini’s Sanskrit for AI
Playing In The Biggest Leagues
I hold an MPhil in bioscience enterprise from Cambridge (Girton) where I worked on human-AI interaction models for the digital to computational pathology pipeline. Previously I earned a biomedical science degree from UCalgary, where I worked on a blood biomarker based diagnostic tool for pregnancy disorders.
