About Me

I think the most impactful way to shape the world is to invent technologies that make good things possible. The best inventions involve combining several new tools from a "bag of tricks" to solve against a clear "menu of problems" — so I learn about new problems and new tools, and the people who can connect the two.

98% of the problems I'm interested in & equipped to solve are biotechnological ones. A sampler of the problems I have worked on include: DNA synthesis, polygenic disease models, EWOD microfluidics, optogenetic tissue engineering, LLM-agents to automate workflows, and assorted efforts to build an "Inventor Shangri-La".

Currently I spend all of my time working on a new startup called Nonfiction, and will have more to share about that soon. We've invented a new way to manage the toxicities and action of antibody drugs, with some broad implications for the future of therapeutics.
