Summary
Lee Reid is an Associate Director and neuroscientist-software engineer with nine years of experience building medical-imaging software-as-a-device and AI-driven imaging pipelines that bridge research and clinical practice. He has led end-to-end projects from concept to commercialization—most notably PACS-integrated SaMD for neurosurgical planning and automated MRI risk-maps used in clinical trials—combining deep MRI expertise with production-grade software architecture. As founder and principal developer of Musink, he single-handedly designed, built, and commercialized a high-performance C# application with over 100k users, demonstrating rare product and business fluency alongside technical depth. His toolset spans diffusion/functional/structural MRI, deep learning, containerized HPC, and languages from Python and C# to C++ and MATLAB, enabling reproducible pipelines and clinical integrations. Based in San Francisco with roots in New Zealand, he blends academic rigor (PhD in Neuroimaging) with startup agility, often translating complex neuroimaging methods into usable clinical tools. A not-obvious strength: he routinely pairs low-level GPU/C++ processing optimizations with high-level clinical workflow design, shortening the path from algorithm to bedside.
