? Onai will be publicly launching soon. I'm also an adviser to Collective Health.
Walmart Labs WalmartLabs was formed upon Walmart's acquisition of Kosmix. Among other initiatives, I created and led Get On The Shelf, a contest and web series that helped small businesses and gained positive attention in social and traditional media.
Kosmix I joined Kosmix upon its acquisition of my startup, Cruxlux.
Cruxlux Founded with a friend; we built powerful new technologies related to search, context, and semantic relationships.
Folding@Home At Stanford, I served project management and lead development roles for Folding@Home, a distributed computing project (simulating protein folding and drug binding) that grew into the most powerful in the world.
Stanford University I did my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at Stanford University. I also was a Mayfield Fellow there.
I have a variety of interests related to the application of novel computational, biomedical, and chemical technologies to worthwhile challenges.
