Neuroscience PhD turned software engineer, looking for TechBio / neurotech / bio x ML roles.

My PhD was in disease modeling and mechanism in focal epilepsy. As the lab's first grad student I built its depth-electrode video-EEG system from scratch — surgery, acquisition, analysis — and wrote the Python/R signal analysis behind two papers.

I'm currently a founding partner and full-stack developer at SkyPorch, where we launched Attached, a health and wellness app on iOS and Android, and where our work on SpatialCut--a visionOS-native spatial video editor — was featured on the front page of the Vision Pro App Store and earned us an invitation to Apple HQ.

I'm also tinkering in ML: I replicated a NeurIPS 2024 result on belief-state geometry and extended it to characterize how long a small transformer holds on to predictively defunct information, published on LessWrong [https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/vzav5kfbRCDQyEB8v/toy-transf...]
