Top SchoolForrest S is an MD-PhD student and founder of Argzero Technologies who blends biomedical engineering, game design, and full-stack software expertise across 11 years of multidisciplinary projects. He builds research-grade tools and prototypes—ranging from neural interfaces and neuromechatronics to decentralized science, on-chain gaming, and rocket avionics—while offering consulting on blockchain infrastructure and scientific monetization. A magna cum laude RIT graduate with hands-on experience in cell culture, EEG/PPG acquisition, microfluidics, and Unity-based medical VR, he’s equally fluent in gameplay programming, electronics, and machine learning. Forrest has led academic and industry research teams, run avionics for rocketry (NAR Level 2), and saves organizations operational costs through practical engineering solutions. He prioritizes projects with publication potential, real-world disability impact, or new tool development, and often provides discounted services to academia, nonprofits, and FOSS initiatives. Not obvious from his title: he self-taught spoken Japanese and complex software skills while shipping commercial game and sound assets and running a research technologies company.
