I'm Neil. These days I work at Chai Discovery, building models and products to make drug discovery feel less like guesswork and more like engineering.
Before that I was deep in cybersecurity. I joined Vanta early, helping turn SOC 2 compliance from a spreadsheet into software, and later shipping the first AI-powered security review products. I left to start a company in the space before realizing cybersecurity SaaS wasn't where I wanted to spend my life - and so wandered into biotech.
I also love robots, logistics, and geopolitics. I used to work on self-driving trucks, and during the pandemic co-founded a nonprofit to deliver two million meals. I got a private pilot's license in 2022, and these days enjoy flying around the Bay Area, running long distances, and cooking meals that are way more effort than they should be.
Here’s my Twitter, Github, LinkedIn, email, and favorite restaurants.
