    Summary:

    Neuroscience PhD turned software engineer, looking for TechBio &#x2F; neurotech &#x2F; bio x ML roles.

    My PhD was in disease modeling and mechanism in focal epilepsy. As the lab&#x27;s first grad student I built its depth-electrode video-EEG system from scratch — surgery, acquisition, analysis — and wrote the Python&#x2F;R signal analysis behind two papers.

    I&#x27;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&#x27;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 [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lesswrong.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;vzav5kfbRCDQyEB8v&#x2F;toy-transformers-may-represent-belief-state-geometry" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lesswrong.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;vzav5kfbRCDQyEB8v&#x2F;toy-transf...]
