Neil Patil

I currently lead product and platform engineering at Chai Discovery. We build AI models that design new medicines (like Chai-2) and the IDE scientists use to design them in. We aim to make biology programmable.

Before Chai I was deep into cybersecurity. I most recently cofounded a supply chain security company, and before that joined Vanta as engineer 5. I spent my first two years automating security compliance, then moved into product to build new product lines.

I also love robots, logistics, and geopolitics. I've worked 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 enjoy flying around the Bay Area, running long distances, and cooking overly extravagant meals.

Here’s my Twitter, Github, LinkedIn, and email.
