About
If you have a project that is built on actually caring about changing the world for the better, I'm here for it. If you have research to do that needs a bit more interdisciplinary thinking to flesh it out, give me a call. If you need a first principles reconsideration of your workflow in bioinformatics or biotech development, let's hear about it! If you want to make the existing status quo of pharmaceuticals with Eroom's Law a thing of the past, let's make change happen. I'm not your PhD-wielding scientist with a hundred prestige peer reviewed publications, it's true. But I honestly think I can be more useful than they can, in many cases. It depends what your focus is, but if I seem to resonate with you a bit, let's talk.
