David Thrower is a CTO who blends a pharmaceutical chemistry background with nine years of hands-on AI and MLOps leadership to deliver compliant, production-grade solutions for life sciences, healthcare, and enterprise. He has built novel LLM architectures and a biologically inspired NAS, architected cloud-native, SOC II-ready MLOps on Kubernetes, and led technical strategy that secured pre-seed funding and accelerator placements. Comfortable from lab bench to CI/CD pipelines, he translates domain constraints and regulatory needs into practical AI products that cut costs and streamline workflows. Notably, he tailors models beyond off-the-shelf options—fine-tuning or engineering custom LLMs and AutoML systems to achieve strong performance with limited data.
