Projects

AI-native infrastructure for agentic workflows — federated compute, verifiable science, and composable modules that bridge human expertise with autonomous AI.

ML Scientist at Stanford Genetics and Stanford Medicine — building AI infrastructure for rare disease diagnosis, precision oncology, and scientific foundation models.

with Stanford Genetics, Stanford Medicine, Wilhelm Foundation

A curated, open-weight language model and evaluation toolkit fine-tuned on rare disease literature — from diagnostic reasoning to patient advocacy.

International hackathon founded by the Wilhelm Foundation, where AI specialists, clinicians, and families work in 48-hour sprints to solve undiagnosed rare disease cases.

with Wilhelm Foundation

Federated citizen science platform putting portable DNA sequencers in the hands of K-12 students and farmers, generating GIS-indexed metagenomic data about California’s environments.

with UCSD, Oxford Nanopore, Venice High

A community network organized into small pods — researchers, patients, and builders working together on Science Sundays and beyond.

Computational protein binder design pipeline — from target selection through structure prediction to binding affinity scoring.

with LabDAO

Open-source deep learning platform for drug discovery, materials science, and biology — research architect and GSoC mentor.

The rare disease hackathon I co-designed at Stanford — small, mixed teams handed one real diagnostic case and 48 hours to raise the standard of care.

with Stanford Genetics, Stanford Medicine

Community-built Corsi-Rosenthal air filters for schools and public spaces — maker culture meets environmental justice in the wake of the LA fires.

with KINN Community Center, Smarter with Science

AI-Scientist in Residence at UCLA Anderson School of Management — advising bio, science, and AI founders on translating research into ventures.

with UCLA Anderson School of Management

Technical Director of Jim Budman’s Venice Beach art-patronage foundation — bringing VR, AR, and AI to the artists making the culture.

with Jim Budman

Principal ML Scientist building industrial-scale language translation serving 50+ nations and 50,000+ translators — the origin story for cybernetic systems.

with Google, WeLocalize

The STEAM accelerator and boardwalk maker space I ran in Venice Beach — home base for Crow Language, the community dinners, and the Art of Tech festival.

with Jim Budman, Budman Studios

The STEAM art-and-tech festival series I produced through SpacePost Labs — a meeting ground for LA’s artists and the technologists moving into their neighborhood.

with SpacePost Labs, Startup Coil, Nerdstage

Edge AI bio-monitoring network using Google Coral TPU to find mathematical patterns in crow vocalizations — Venice Beach citizen science at its weirdest and best.

with SpacePost Labs

An open-source, Jetson-powered biomonitoring stack the LMU capstone I mentor is building for the LA coast — a sensing layer for the World Genome Academy.

with Loyola Marymount University

A science series filmed at Muscle Beach — the mechanics of lifting, worked out between sets, with the people who actually train there.

Holiday dinners on the Venice boardwalk — housed and unhoused neighbors at one long table, with home-cooked food, fresh clothes, haircuts, and interview prep.

with SpacePost Labs, Budman Studios network

Head of Data Science at LabDAO — led the data-science team behind its first community drug-discovery preprint, run on decentralized infrastructure.

Head of Research at Lilypad — decentralized compute marketplace, GPU verification research, and the Altruistic AI Agents series.

Bioinformatics pipeline for rare disease diagnosis through DNA methylation pattern analysis.

Chief Architect at New Atlantis Labs — decentralized marine science, ocean biodiversity regeneration, and precision medicine for the oceans.
