Great ideas rarely emerge from isolation

Vinayak

I am a scientist by training so I like to ask lot of questions and I am a fan from first principles thinking. I loved programming since I was 5 and have built algorithms and systems working collaboratively with biologist, chemist, scientists and automation engineers to reliably scale measurement of biological systems (mostly human DNA) and predicting propensity for disease. Outside work, I love the outdoors and playing and following team sports.

Do crabs think fish can fly? I’m Yan (go by my last name), just moved to SF post-Duke CS. Building weirdly fun stuff, training for triathlons, and dreaming of octopus-level sensing. Let’s jam on wild ideas—ideally mid-run, ride, bball, or dance break?
