The Journey

From pioneering genomics on GPUs to the frontier of AI

After a PhD at the University of Michigan on efficient GPU programming, I co-founded Parabricks to revolutionize genomic analysis with high-performance GPU software — delivering dramatically higher throughput at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.

In 2020, Parabricks was acquired by NVIDIA, where I led the team's integration and growth within NVIDIA's healthcare ecosystem. Today I work at the bleeding edge of Generative AI, exploring how large language models and accelerated computing are reshaping what's possible.
