Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Hoffman is a founder and PhD-trained engineer who blends machine learning, human-computer interaction, and synthetic biology to create accessible health technologies. With nine years of industry and research experience, he shipped firmware and drivers for first-party Microsoft devices like HoloLens 2, Surface Hub, and Surface Duo before pivoting to phone-based digital health research at the University of Washington. He now leads GlucoScreen and holds a UW CoMotion entrepreneurial fellowship to commercialize affordable smartphone-based screening using novel sensor systems and interaction models. Jason pairs hands-on hardware and firmware expertise (UEFI, sensors, diagnostics) with ML-driven signal processing developed in health-focused startups and AI2 incubators. He’s also experienced in organizational leadership from directing USC’s 150-member Troy Camp and coordinating K–12 outreach for the Allen School, showing a track record of translating technical work into community impact. An original thinker who jokes “Define ‘define’” on GitHub, he looks for elegant, human-centric ways to make devices seamlessly integrate into everyday health care.
