Great ideas rarely emerge from isolation

South Park Commons is a community of technologists ideating and validating what to build next. We believe this shouldn’t be done alone. Our members range from exited founders and highly-cited researchers to new graduates and first-time entrepreneurs. What unites us is ambition, ability, and a mutual commitment to helping each other navigate -1 to 0.

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.
