Currently learning at Legible Bio. Most recently an investor at BlueYard researching crypto protocols and investing in early stage founders. Before that I started a social DAO, begrudgingly worked at a bank, and enthusiastically set up a design studio.

Some thoughts, questions, and ideas on top of mind lately:

• Value as a function of attention—investing well can be seen as successfully anticipating obscure pockets where attention is likely to systematically synchronize in the future
• Too many folks confuse liquid venture in crypto with simple momentum trading
• My kids are likelier to program biology than computers
• As long read DNA sequencing becomes the norm and sequencing becomes cheaper, how do we manage the deluge of immense genomics data?
• The obvious, impending need to make next gen automated biotech platforms a national priority if we’re going to successfully compete with China
• The tension between truth seeking and reality bending. One is the pursuit of understanding complex systems, the other is imposing a will on the world. Is there is a middle path?
• A deep contemplation and sincere exploration of Advaitha Vedanta philosophy stands to benefit everyone

Here’s some essays about career and life that I find insightful
