Biology, Programming & Human Impact

Hi, I'm Viraat.

I build software and machine-learning tools at the intersection of biology, programming, and human impact, helping people understand their health, learn something new, and connect with the people around them.

01about

Engineer, researcher, founder.

I'm Viraat, and I work at the intersection of biology, programming, and human impact. Most of what I make uses code and machine learning to make health and science easier to understand and more useful to actual people.

I founded the F*Cancer Foundation in February 2026 and built its website end to end. Since June 2026 I have been a research intern at the University of Washington's Center for Cryo-Biomedical Engineering under Professor Shen Ren, where I write data pipelines and models to make sense of experimental results. I also manage content for Chakra Healing, a family-owned QHHT regression-therapy practice.
