Summary

Forward Deployed Engineering leader and computational biologist — a polymath who works across the full life-science stack: bench science, reproducible bioinformatics, cloud architecture, clinical-grade compliance, and the AI-agent layer now being built on top of it. VP, Forward Deployed Engineering at Manifold.

I’ve spent my career making biological data usable at every layer — running it at the bench (high-throughput screens, single-cell RNA-seq), making it reproducible and GxP/CLIA-validated in bioinformatics pipelines, scaling it in the cloud, and leading global teams that deliver genomics and multi-omics platforms to pharma and research partners. I move fluently between scientists, engineers, and operators, and I’m hands-on building the agent layer today — MCP integrations, custom skills, and automated evaluation loops — working toward making messy biological data reliably usable by AI. AWS Certified Solutions Architect & Cloud Practitioner. Certified Scrum Product Owner.

Experience

VP, Forward Deployed Engineering January 2026 - Present
Manifold

Lead Forward Deployed Engineering at Manifold, the enterprise agent platform for life sciences — responsible for deploying specialist agents into customer environments and owning post-sales technical delivery while staying active in pre-sales.

  • Building and scaling the Forward Deployed Engineering organization, with direct reports spanning FDEs and Forward Deployed Builders, and expanding the team to meet growing customer demand for agent deployment and implementation.
  • Provide technical leadership for Forward Deployed Engineers across the broader organization, guiding how they engage with customers on complex implementations even where reporting lines sit elsewhere.
  • Partner with the pre-sales Solutions team across the technical customer journey — contributing to discovery, scoping, proof-of-concept development, and platform demonstrations — while owning post-sales implementation, technical delivery, and ongoing customer partnership.
  • Maintain broad coverage across Manifold’s customer base with concentrated focus on strategic accounts — particularly high-risk, high-reward engagements where customer problems are technically complex and platform fit requires deep scientific and architectural collaboration.
  • Build proof-of-concept, reference implementation, and demo assets across three purposes: supporting pre-sales in customer acquisition, driving expansion within existing accounts, and extending platform functionality for broader customer applicability.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to translate field signal into roadmap priorities and to stress-test new capabilities against customer needs before they ship.
  • Serve as a liaison between customers, sales, product, engineering, and support, ensuring customer technical and scientific needs are represented throughout the organization.
VP, Head of Data Engineering January 2025 - January 2026
Champions Oncology, Inc.

Led data infrastructure and management strategy for Champions’ research and development efforts, with responsibility for the data platform supporting multi-omics and research data workflows in alignment with FAIR principles.

  • Set direction on modernizing Champions’ analytic pipelines, initiating rebuilds to bring them in line with current standards for reproducibility, maintainability, and scalability.
  • Migrated the analytic compute environment onto a foundation that delivered meaningful reductions in pipeline runtime and cost, improving the economics of recurring analyses.
  • Initiated the build-out of data provenance, lineage, and observability infrastructure — evaluating tooling and beginning implementation of the governance layer needed to support regulated multi-omics and research data at scale.
  • Owned data organization and deployment for new data commercialization efforts, structuring datasets for external availability and partnering with business stakeholders to bring data products to market.
  • Supported sales efforts as the senior scientific and technical voice, providing subject-matter expertise in customer conversations and shaping the technical positioning of data offerings.
  • Contributed to new assay development efforts, particularly on the analytical and data-handling side — advising on how downstream analysis requirements should shape assay design, data capture, and output structure.
  • Served as the senior technical voice for data strategy, partnering with R&D and executive leadership on platform direction, tooling selection, and long-term data architecture decisions.
Head of Professional Services Engineering June 2024 - January 2025
DNAnexus

Led the Professional Services Engineering organization — a global team of 15–20 architects, bioinformatics engineers, services engineers, and contractors across the US, Europe, and Asia — responsible for all technical services delivery on the DNAnexus platform.

  • Expanded scope from leading the Solutions Engineering function to leading all technical staff across Professional Services, following consistent delivery improvements under prior management.
  • Oversaw services delivery across a global, distributed team — including customer-facing engineering, platform integrations, custom solution development, and data engineering for customer data ingestion.
  • Managed a sizeable offshore contractor contingent alongside full-time staff, balancing delivery throughput with margin discipline as the services function reached its highest profitability during this period amid continued scaling.
  • Partnered with Product Engineering and Product Management on roadmap priorities informed by customer delivery experience, and built proof-of-concept assets to support architectural decisions on new platform capabilities.
  • Served as a technical liaison between sales, customers, and internal product and support teams — deployed frequently to strategic or at-risk customer engagements to resolve escalations and restore delivery trajectory.
Manager, Solutions Science Engineering February 2023 - May 2024
DNAnexus

Managed the Solutions Engineering organization through a period of leadership transition, expanding scope mid-tenure to include a subset of the Professional Services engineering team.

  • Led a team of 5–6 Solutions Engineers distributed across the US and EMEA, supporting presales engagements globally across all customer verticals.
  • Took on additional management responsibility for part of the Professional Services engineering function following a leadership vacuum, tightening integration between presales and services — notably in SOW scoping accuracy and services utilization — which led to subsequent promotion to Head of PS Engineering.
  • Built DNAnexus’s external technical presence in Europe and North America, delivering invited oral presentations at EU Biobank Week 2024, ACMG 2024, BioTechX Europe 2023, and the Precision Medicine Leaders Summit 2023, with additional panel participation at BioIT World 2023 on precision medicine and FAIR multimodal data.
  • Built and refined proof-of-concept and demo assets to demonstrate platform capabilities against customer-specific scientific and technical needs.
  • Partnered with Product Engineering and Product Management on roadmap prioritization based on field signal, and served as liaison between sales, customers, product, professional services, and support.
Senior Solutions Engineer August 2021 - February 2023
DNAnexus

Individual contributor presales engineer supporting customers globally across all verticals, with particular depth in top-5 pharma and diagnostics.

  • Partnered with sales on customer discovery, scoping, and technical qualification — translating customer scientific and operational needs into platform-fit assessments and architectural proposals.
  • Built proof-of-concept assets to validate the DNAnexus platform against real customer workflows, including substantial WDL and Nextflow pipeline development and lift-and-shift work.
  • Delivered platform demonstrations, technical training, and white-glove technical support for strategic accounts throughout the presales cycle.
  • Served as technical liaison between sales, customers, and internal product, professional services, and support teams — recognized for technical depth and customer trust that led to first-line management responsibility following departures of other team leaders.
Computational Biologist September 2019 - July 2021
