About

Scientific depth, platform execution, and enterprise delivery

I am a Ph.D. chemical engineer and scientific computing leader with deep expertise in computational modeling, high-performance computing, GPU acceleration, AI, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise data platforms. My career sits at the intersection of science, software, and product strategy: I have built simulation tools, machine-learning workflows, data pipelines, scientific platforms, and AI-enhanced products for complex R&D environments.

At Merck, I led data science and computational platform initiatives supporting nonclinical drug safety, NLP-driven report analysis, Databricks integration, and global computational workflows. As founder of DiPhyx, I build products that help scientists, engineers, and data teams run, manage, automate, and scale computational workloads across cloud, HPC, and AI infrastructure.

Value

Three strengths

a builder of solutions that connect scientific computing, AI, data, and enterprise execution.

Scientific Depth

Physics-based modeling, simulation and computational science: a Ph.D. foundation that lets me direct deep technical work, not just manage it.

Platform Execution

APIs, MSP, workflow orchestration, HPC execution, AI, reproducibility, and observability: from concept to architecture to shipped product.

Enterprise Leadership

Merck leadership, cross-functional teams, regulated R&D, roadmap ownership, and executive communication across technical, scientific, and business stakeholders.

Platforms

DiPhyx & dxflow.

As founder of DiPhyx, I am building the platform and workflow engine that make computational pipelines easier to design, run, monitor, and reproduce across cloud, HPC, and AI infrastructure.

Platform

One platform for scientific computing with AI.

DiPhyx is an AI-driven scientific computing platform that streamlines the design, execution, and monitoring of complex computational pipelines across scientific and engineering domains. It manages the lifecycle of computational workloads in a cloud-agnostic environment, turning fragmented, failure-prone workflows into reproducible, optimized runs.

  • Automates pipeline design: AI helps configure workflows across data processing, simulation, analytics, and scientific computing use cases.
  • Optimizes compute: dynamically selects the most cost- and time-efficient infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem HPC.
  • Monitors in real time: reads outputs, logs, and resource usage to catch failures early, suggest fixes, and guarantee reproducibility.
Engine

A workflow engine for Docker, Slurm, and more: built for scientific and engineering computation.

dxflow is the distributed computing engine born inside DiPhyx to tame scattered scripts, containerized tools, and cluster execution. It orchestrates workflows across environments, turning accessible machines into a unified computational fleet with CLI and API interfaces for seamless integration.

  • Container & HPC orchestration: Docker integration and Slurm cluster management from one engine.
  • CLI, REST API & Web UI: automate it, integrate it programmatically, or manage workflows in the browser.
  • Enterprise-grade: built-in authentication and authorization for teams.
