Senior🎓
Top SchoolDevin Strickland is a cross-disciplinary science and technology advisor with nearly two decades of experience translating synthetic biology and biologics research into production-ready systems through software, automation, and AI. Currently serving as a SETA to ARPA-H and principal at Pendentive Consulting, he specializes in integrating laboratory methods, data systems, manufacturing processes, and AI models to de-risk complex R&D programs. His background spans academia, startups, and consulting—leading DARPA-funded experimental automation at UW that produced ~1M protein stability measurements and building enterprise AI/analytics solutions with measurable ROI for Fortune-level clients. Devin combines hands-on coding and protocol development (Python, Ruby DSLs, research automation) with strategic technical sales and solution architecture. He holds a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and brings a designer’s sensibility from a BS in Fine Arts to create elegant, human-centered technical integrations. Notably, he has repeatedly bridged incompatible disciplinary “geometries,” making disparate systems operate smoothly at scale.
