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.

Kalvin

I’m a software engineer interesting in applying SV’s optimism and maker mindset to an especially challenging question: can we build software that helps people feel like they have enough and are enough, instead of amplifying and exploiting our fears of never enough?
