Summary

Past

- Got into CS as a kid because he was 'good at math,' people told him CS would suit him, and he started playing video games and working with computers
- Mom is a nurse; grew up hearing about medicine from her, started shadowing doctors and volunteering in medicine in high school, plus had a few internships at a med school
- Did healthcare policy/access modeling work in Colorado in high school, which deepened his interest in healthcare
- Summer internship at Kyowa Kirin (rare disease pharma, Japan HQ, North America office in Princeton) on an ML team using claims and EHR data to identify patients
- Does neuroscience research at the Dussauds Lab at Brown, analyzing intracranial stimulation data recorded during epilepsy surgeries to model patient reaction patterns and improve surgical targeting
- Dad works at Google on GCP hardware, moved there ~2 years ago from a chip startup (not Cerebras); realized only after a friend pointed it out that having one parent in tech and one (mom) in medicine shaped his own med/tech interest
- Attended YC Startup School over the summer; found many high schoolers there 'straight LARPing' but enjoyed a talk by Max Hodak (BCI founder) and met a range of founders, including MIT hardware people who worked at Etched
