About

The short version

Trained in biology, ended up in software once it was obvious the bottleneck in the lab was never the science. I design and build the systems in between — data pipelines, AI integrations, and the ontology models that let software think in cell lines, passages, and CQAs.

Fields I keep circling back to: solutions architecture, universal function approximators, cell therapy research, ontology, automation, robotics and foundation models.

  • Building BioPilot — the CTR engine
  • Consulting on data infra for biotech
  • Vibe-coding too many side projects

Currently building

BioPilot

The operating system for cell therapy research.

Cell therapy labs run on a patchwork: an ELN for notes, a separate LIMS for inventory, FlowJo for FACS, spreadsheets for DOE. Nothing connects a protocol to its results. BioPilot is one platform with cell-therapy-native ontologies — built around how researchers actually work, from exploratory R&D through GMP.
