Do Your Life's Work

Today I am excited to announce the next phase of my career (after some lovely time off and a lot of work behind the scenes).

If you’ve visited the About page of my website, you’ve seen my three career mission statements¹:

Make cancer genome analysis free, instant, and accessible to every human being
Show it is possible to build AI and computing systems that are good for people and planet.
Ensure we understand and remember the genomic impacts of nuclear testing and disaster.

The first of these started to form when I was an undergrad; the other two became increasingly important to me as a graduate student and as I’ve watched the AI data center explosion take hold over the last four years. They have helped me to make many small and large decisions. Many of my loved ones have been impacted by cancer in their lifetimes. Many also lived close to their environment, whether on farms or as lovers of the outdoors. All of their experiences, my own experiences, and the experiences of many, many others I have met along the way continue to help me grow.

After five and a half wild years at NVIDIA, today I left to go start the next phase of my career. I could not be more excited but I will also miss so many people - I got to work with some of the kindest, most brilliant people I’ve ever met. Much is (now) written about NVIDIA, and something that’s talked about but hard to capture is its “One Team” ethos. That attitude driving 30,000+ people is something truly special to be a part of. Succeeding and failing only together makes it all way better.
