About

I build teams, tools, and data-powered products at the intersection of AI, data, and engineering. I founded Azimuth Labs, an independent research nonprofit working to keep AI models from enabling biological harm. I've also conducted red-teaming evaluations for foundation model labs. Through Zaro Data, I work hands-on with growth-stage companies and research organizations on data and ML strategy, production AI systems, software development, and building engineering teams. If that's what your team needs, or someone pointed you my way, I'd be glad to chat! Background: 10+ years building engineering and data organizations (Ready, Cerebral), founding a digital health company built on mobile hardware (LexiconAI), and working as a software engineer and data scientist (SVDS, Insight Data). PhD in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley/UCSF, with work published in Nature and Science.
