Founder of Strand

I love learning and systems thinking, especially when it comes to problems in AI and biology. I started my first company at 12, finished CS at Northeastern in my first year, left to study philosophy at Tufts, then dropped out to build in SF’s biotech scene. My dream is to experience exoplanets and to be part of answering some of life’s biggest questions.

I’m currently working on Strand, an experiment design layer for complex perturbation campaigns. The vision behind Strand is a platform that makes it 100 times easier to design and validate multidimensional interventions for aging and age-related disease.

I write about my experiences and thoughts on my blog.
