About

I'm a biochemist and developer focused on building high-signal systems that compress research into decisions. My work spans antibiotic development, AI-powered health tools, and algorithmic trading systems.

At SMU, I contributed to a carbapenem patent addressing multidrug-resistant bacteria, work that demonstrated a 16× improvement against KPC-producing pathogens. The experience taught me how to move from bench chemistry to translational applications.

These days, I'm building tools like Sciena (supplements evidence-backed engine), Atavus (genomic ancestry analysis platform), and Solstice (Solana analytics). I'm drawn to problems where rigor meets product, whether that's drug discovery, knowledge management, or market microstructure.

Modified Carbapenem Antibiotics with Improved Activity Against KPC Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales
US Patent Application 20240383899 A1 • Published November 21, 2024

"Restoring the power of carbapenems against even the most resilient KPC-producing pathogens through strategic molecular modifications."

Key Innovation: Composition of matter for C-3-modified carbapenems exhibiting KPC resistance. C8 stereochemistry switching (8R→8S) produced a 16× potency gain, driving MIC reduction from 8 μg/mL to 0.5 μg/mL against resistant strains in vitro.

My Contribution: Co-inventor contributing to synthesis planning, SAR analysis, and bench validation (UHPLC/MS, MIC testing). Helped draft data and claims for patent submission, emphasizing beta-lactamase stability and clinical relevance for CRE infections.
