About.
Currently Founder in Residence at Entrepreneurs First, building rapid microbial contamination tests that unlock inventory liquidity for the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.
Previously...
I built a phenotyping platform to study plant–parasite interactions, and a forearm bioelectronic
signal acquisition system to classify hand gestures using machine learning.
I led a Cambridge University MPhil consulting project for AstraZeneca, defining the architecture of a wearable cytokine release syndrome monitoring system to support early outpatient clearance following oncology clinical trials.
I founded a soup kitchen welcoming homeless guests to shared dinners to combat isolation, served as an equestrian guide and ranch hand in Argentina, Uruguay, and Romania, and speak four languages fluently.

- Molecular biology, nature’s engineering magnum opus, humbling and inspiring human ingenuity.
- Engineering, finely tuned systems to ease daily burdens and contend with the power of nature.
- Encounter and travel, immersion in raw humanity as the shortest path through the ache of becoming.
- Horses, mirrors of doubt and trust, bold companions in toil and play, reminding us to husband creation tenderly.
- History, people and places, rules and dissent, where the agency of a few colours the human story.
- Oil painting, deconstructing perception through line, form, and value to command light, shadow, and flesh.
