### Ginkgo Bioworks

From 2022-2025 I was [Ginkgo](https://www.ginkgo.bio/)'s friendly neighborhood Developer Evangelist. 

What can you build when AI makes biology easier to engineer? If lab automation is a platform technology, then how can biotech developers build on top of that platform?

### Grove Discord Server

Grove was an experiment in online community building that ran from 2022-2024.&#x20;

If biotech is becoming more like software, what should our developer communities look like?

### Engineering Biology Club

In 2024 I hosted and organized the Engineering Biology Club, a monthly meet-up for people who build with biology.&#x20;

We brought together people from academia to industry, from biotech to techbio, to talk cool technology over hot pizza.
