BIO
I am a 2x YC Founder. Previously, I built AI for go-to-market teams as the 2nd hire and founding engineer at Nooks. Then, I forward deployed myself in research labs at the University of Washington, UCSF, and Stanford, where I was mentored by world-renowned scientists in analytical chemistry and cancer research. In < 1 year, I published 2 papers and won 4 national awards. Now, I'm building ultrafast AI models for drug discovery teams to characterize proteins and pharmaceutical candidates.
