Accomplished author of contemporary personal essays. My writing explores the intersection of my hard sciences background and with lived human experiences.My work has been featured in public readings and in literary publications including Prometheus Dreaming and MSR.

Reviewed output of a new AI from a venture-backed startup. My editorial feedback and insights on the systematic flaws in the AI’s output were used both for customer-facing deliverables & improving the AI. The role ended when the AI met a quality bar eliminating the need for my role—my mission accomplished.

Freeslate was my first role after my PhD program. It was an outstanding experience that let me use my chemistry expertise in the software world that I wanted to enter. Freeslate’s customers were chemists like me, so I was able to not only execute established test procedures on the software, but find gaps in the tests and in the software itself based on my.

This role continued after Freeslate, Inc. was spun out of Symyx, and I was promoted to a senior role shortly after that transition.
