Bio

General Partner @ YC Formerly CTO and Co-Founder at Reverie Labs. We started by building software for pharma companies to make better decisions with cutting-edge AI. We ended as a pharma company developing our own pipeline of assets using our ML tools. We sold Reverie to Ginkgo in February 2024. Previously AB/SM at Harvard in CS. I'm an ML research guy turned infra, full stack, data science, and everything in between.
