Synbio Evangelist

My work in science communication & biotech marketing

Ginkgo Bioworks

From 2022-2025 I was Ginkgo'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?

Foundry Theory

The Foundry Theory Substack and 52-video series is a deep dive into all aspects biotech in the AI era. It features case studies of cutting-edge commercial projects executed in the Ginkgo Bioworks foundry.

Grove Discord Server

Grove was an experiment in online community building that ran from 2022-2024.

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.

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