Short Bio
22 years old, start-up founder, an avid futurist and a self-taught researcher of molecular biology.
My life goals
I want to build a S.T.A.R Labs x Bell Labs-inspired mega corporation full of genius people, building and commercialising tech that will radically increase human lifespans and enhance human capabilities
My life story (so far)
- Born and raised in Uganda for most of my life.
- Grew up watching a lot of sci-fi movies and business documentaries.
- Started reading a lot about nanoengineering and programmable matter in high school.
- Realized that I could self-teach and sit my finals. Did this and skipped a grade (Year 12) to fast track to uni.
- Went to uni to study civil engineering x material science so I could one day make space elevators and medical nanobots happen. While there, I stumbled onto a breakthrough on the nanobot side of things... they already exist!! proteins and enzymes ARE literally biological nanobots. This is partly why I dropped out after a year. To speed run making these happen, alongside other critical biotechnologies (longevity & enhancement).
- After somehow convincing my parents that it was worth it to drop out and spend 2 years teaching myself biochemistry and building a business so I could “change the world”, I went full force.
- Original plan was to make a few million dollars from marketing and funnel it into open-ended biotech research. BUT, it turns out marketing was not impactful enough, and worse, it distracted me from the original mission (science!)
- New plan: skip the detour & do the science myself. This time by building a collaborative virtual lab for biologists, hoping its revenue could act as a cash cow for the moonshot R&D projects. It flopped.
- But the failure taught me something critical: software and ops aren’t the major bottleneck to scifi-grade biotech, Chemistry is.
- That original idea from high school (nanobots that can actually control biology) is what I should have led with all along.
- That plus a bunch of critical bioengineering techniques (bioprinting, cell engineering, etc…) is what I'm building now... with the help of some very cool people.
- work in progress. More coming soon…..
