Fun fact
Guinness World Record holder.
In 2024, I helped set the fastest scheduled-flight circumnavigation at 44h 33m 39s with disability-rights advocate Cham-Kai Yip.

Work across biology and computer science.
I study molecular and cell biology alongside computer science because most of the problems I care about sit between the two.
I am especially drawn to multimodal biology, wearable sensing, research tooling, evaluation, and the translation layer between technical capability and real use.
Photography is the other practice that keeps my attention calibrated: slower, visual, and useful for noticing composition instead of just making arguments.

Another practice in attention.
Photography is where I practice composition, patience, and noticing details outside the usual research loop.
Principles
How I think about the work.
The through-line is simple: build toward systems that can survive contact with real users, real biological messiness, and real decision-making pressure.
- Biology is becoming a software problem, but not a simpler one.
- Writing helps me clarify technical judgment, not just present it.
- The best technical work holds research depth and product judgment at the same time.
- Interdisciplinary work only matters if it leads to something concrete.
- The fastest way to learn is still to build the thing, inspect it, and then rebuild it.
Current trajectory
What the last stretch has been optimizing for.
Research, startup work, writing, and fast prototypes are converging around biology tooling, agent systems, and interfaces that feel inspectable instead of mystical.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Predictive modeling for clinical trial design and cohort stratification with multi-omic context.
UC Berkeley Sky Computing Lab
Developing agent swarms for biology with the rLLM hive team.
Berkeley RDI
Working on AgentHLE and the harder question of what useful agent competence should actually mean.
Stealth Biotech
Building multimodal oncology models around treatment risk prediction and patient-level reasoning.
CytoAurora Biotechnology
Worked on computer vision workflows for circulating tumor cell detection from liquid biopsies.
