I’m a CS and bioinformatics student thinking about many things including mechanistic interpretability, AI, drug discovery and transit.

I am operating under the “work with the garage door up” philosophy inspired by Andy Matuschak (who was inspired by Robin Sloan, see link). I believe this is overall a net benefit for myself and readers who will be able to watch someone learning things as they go instead of only seeing fully-formed thoughts once I’ve already figured everything out. The costs of this are that I don’t get to look as capable as I would otherwise and things aren’t as polished as they could be, but I’m willing to give up those things.

If you would like to contact me you can send an email to davatanasov@gmail.com. I’m open to job opportunities in anything related to CS or pharma.
