About Me
I’m a quantitative biologist working at the intersection of microbiomics, diagnostics, and scientific strategy. My background is in microbial ecology and metagenomics where I ask not just what microbes are present, but what they’re doing and why it matters at a systems level.
What drives me is the gap between scientific insight and real-world impact. The biology is increasingly tractable. The harder problem is moving it from experiments to decisions, products, and systems that people can actually use. That’s what I am working towards as a Scientist at MiDOG, building AI-assisted workflows, data systems, and scientific intelligence infrastructure to support diagnostics, deliver client research projects, and enable strategic decision-making.
I’m particularly interested in how AI and automation are reshaping what’s possible in biological research and diagnostics and in being part of that transformation.
