I'm Neil. I currently work at Chai Discovery, helping with product, infrastructure, and security. We help scientists design new medicines with engineering precision.
Before that I spent time in cybersecurity. I joined Vanta as an early engineer, and spent my first two years helping Vanta turn its spreadsheet prototype into a fully automated SOC 2 product. I later switched into product and helped build new product lines, including the first AI-powered security review products. I left to start a company in the space.
I also love robots, logistics, and geopolitics. My first technology love was 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 enjoy flying around the Bay Area, running long distances, and cooking overly extravagant meals.
Here’s my Twitter, Github, LinkedIn, email, and favorite restaurants.
