Short Bio

22 years old, futurist and a self-taught molecular biologist.

Extended Bio

I'm a 22-year-old futurist and self-taught molecular bioengineer based in Uganda, with a move to the San Francisco Bay Area on the horizon. I'm building an early-stage startup focused on fabricating molecular-scale machines, with the long-term goal of deploying them as medical nanorobots, high-bandwidth BCIs, and general-purpose nano-assembling 3D printers.

I'm passionate about supporting everyone working in molecular nanotechnology. I collaborate regularly with researchers and founders who are genuinely committed to making the nano age real. One example is my partnership with Turner Nanotech, where I contributed to their molecular machine design and review process, and that work fed into a $100,000 fundraise. If you're working on something similar, I'd like to hear about it. Whether you need technical input, connections, hiring help, or experiment support, I've got you!

When I'm not designing experiment protocols or running Zoom calls with potential hires, I'm usually writing amateur think pieces, or building the world's largest community of serious molecular nanotechnologists. I occasionally take on side projects: homemade electron microscopes, 3D renders of neurons, and curated notes on artificial organ technology and the economics of a nano-capable society.

Much of my early technical work on molecular machinery is open-sourced. You can find everything I publish on my Substack, the Internet archive and right here on this blog. My hope is that capable engineers find it, replicate the worthwhile ideas, and join the mission to bring on the age of productive nanosystems (Seriously, there's only like 5 serious efforts trying to build this. We need more of you!!!!!)

Outside of science and futurism, I love movies, indie music, brain rot memes, and I find airport lobbies oddly calming.

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. I want to enable a future of happy, bio enhanced humans with lives far better and with goals so far advanced that they seem incomprehensible to us today.

My life story so far

2003 - 2019

• Born and raised in Uganda for most of my life.
• Had a great and very whimsical childhood.
• Became science lab prefect in primary school.
• Went to highschool and had my first and biggest ever major crisis of meaning.

2019 - 2023

• 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 the next 2 years of my life teaching myself biochemistry and building a business so I could “change the world”, I went full force.

2024 - 2025

• 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 interesting 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: after talking to many scientists about their work, I learned that 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.
• Spent the next few months devouring youtube lectures and Bruce Alberts' Molec bio of the cell
• Went from knowing literally nothing about cells to a biochemist that researchers now ask to help review their technical work. Great things happen when you let yourself be the dumbest person in the room and stay there long enough to be shaped into the smartest. In my case that was about 100 rooms. 100s of zoom calls and emails with people brutally critiquing my ideas and helping me develop real scientific rigor. (will write about the times I embarrassed myself in front of very important people during this so-called “humble learning phase” 😂)
• Bioengineering nanomachines plus a bunch of related techniques (bio-computer interfaces, cellular surgery, etc.) is what I'm building now... with the help of some very cool people.
• Spent part of 2024 and the entirety of 2025 learning, hiring and validating my assumptions about what to build. I also did some travel, side projects and part-time classes at a local uni.
• work in progress. More coming soon…..

2026 - 2027

• Coming soon
