Background

I'm a staff software engineer at Recursion Pharmaceuticals, where I build software that helps scientists design and run experiments at scale. My work spans full-stack systems, lab informatics, AI agents, and the data infrastructure underneath it all.

At the staff level, I spend as much time on the human side of engineering as the technical — working across teams, mentoring engineers, and helping shape how we build. I care a lot about systems that are well-reasoned, not just functional.
