Principal Engineer @ OpenMined
Building privacy-preserving AI, bioinformatics systems, and agentic developer tools.

I like difficult problems at the edge of AI, privacy, developer tooling, and biology. Most of my recent work sits somewhere between secure computation, distributed infrastructure, agentic workflows, and practical open source shipping.
- Privacy-preserving AI and secure data infrastructure at OpenMined
- Bioinformatics tooling and workflow systems
- Agentic notebook and coding interfaces
- Open source compiler, SDK, and systems experiments in Python and Rust
- Mobile / Wearable stuff
