Right now I’m building Orchid.

Before Orchid, I taught a class at Stanford on Reproductive Technology, did AI and genomics research with Anshul Kundaje (deep learning for genomics) and Sebastian Thrun (computer vision), started a speaker series called #nofilter, cofounded Stanford’s Center for Distributed Trust, ran a translational group for entrepreneurial researchers in the Stanford AI Lab, and earned my M.S/B.S in Computer Science from Stanford.

Before schooling, I started a digital health company called Remedy, that helped doctors get instant answers from specialists. We deployed our product to doctors and nurses at Harvard affiliated hospitals. I met some of my favorite people through the Thiel Fellowship.

I grew up in the suburbs of Virginia, an hour south of Washington, DC.
