The person behind the work

I'm a medical student and computational researcher. The short version is that I build simulations, tools, and write about the questions I can't stop thinking about. The longer version takes a minute.

My work sits at the intersection of biology and computation, but that phrase undersells what I actually mean. I'm interested in the fact that the same mathematical structures keep showing up in wildly different systems: allele frequency dynamics in isolated populations, resource allocation curves in transplant networks, inverse-square falloffs in social influence. The patterns are not metaphors. They're often the same equations, operating under different constraints.

That thread connects most of what I do. I've built forward-time population genetics simulators to estimate how long it would take a Mars colony to speciate from Earth. I've modeled transplant logistics across 22 US cities to help patients find the best odds of receiving an organ. I've studied hemoglobin saturation dynamics at altitude for space medicine applications. I've run a 501(c)(3) nonprofit teaching activism literacy to grassroots organizers.

None of these are the same field. All of them are the same impulse: find a system that matters, model it precisely enough to learn something, and write about it clearly enough that someone else can follow.

If I had to name the lens, it would be computation as a way of seeing. Not computation as in "I write code" (though I do), but computation as the claim that simulation, modeling, and algorithmic reasoning can reveal structure in systems that resist traditional analysis. Evolutionary dynamics, clinical decision-making, social physics, consciousness. The tools I build are attempts to take that claim seriously.

The medical training matters because it keeps the work grounded. Every model I build has to survive contact with real patients, real physiology, real constraints. Medicine is a constant reminder that elegant theory is worthless if it doesn't map onto the organism in front of you.

This site exists because I got tired of the limitations of existing platforms. Substack can't embed interactive simulations. Medium won't let you control the reading experience. GitHub is for code, not narrative. I wanted a place where an article about Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could include a live interactive right inline, where a project page could tell the full story of why something was built and what it found, and where the writing could be as careful as the code.

So I built one. Next.js, Tailwind, MDX, Supabase, deployed on Vercel. Everything here is written and coded by me. The interactives are first-class citizens, not afterthoughts. The projects are organized by gravity (how close they orbit right now), not by completion status, because nothing is ever really done.

Things I think about

Speciation and what drives populations apart. Biocomputation and whether the cell is literally computing. Space medicine and what happens to human physiology when you remove the environment it evolved for. Consciousness and the philosophy of what it means for a system to experience. Longevity and whether aging is a program or an accumulation. Transhumanism and where the boundary between treatment and enhancement actually falls. Social physics and the suspicion that some human group dynamics follow physical laws more literally than we think. Evolution, not just biological, but as a general algorithm. Satire, when the situation calls for it. Global health. Sleep medicine. Bioethics. The relationship between computation and existence.
