Summary

Past

- Interned summer 2026 at Kyowa Kirin (rare-disease pharma, Japan-HQ'd, merged with the Kirin beer brand) on the ML team using claims and EHR data to identify patients for rare diseases
- Does neuroscience research at the Dussaud Lab at Brown, analyzing intracranial stimulation data recorded during epilepsy surgeries to model patient reaction patterns and improve surgical targeting
- Mom is a nurse; grew up hearing about medicine from her, started shadowing doctors and volunteering in high school, and had internships at a med school in high school working on healthcare policy/access modeling
- Dad works at Google on GCP hardware (previously at a chip startup, not Cerebras); a friend pointed out this is likely part of why he got into AI, which he hadn't consciously connected before
- Got into CS as a kid the 'typical' way: was good at math, people told him CS would suit him, started with video games, then just kept working with computers
- Attended YC Startup School this past summer; found it more like a networking party than substantive, met a range of people including some he thought were 'straight LARPing,' but enjoyed a talk by Max Hodak (BCI company founder)
- Describes medicine, neuroscience, and AI as 'a convenient little intersection' he arrived at rather than a single niche he deliberately pursued from the start
