Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Jenior is an AI systems architect and computational biologist with 11 years of experience applying multi-omics integration, machine learning, and metabolic modeling to biological problems. Currently a Senior Design Engineer at Ginkgo Bioworks, he blends production-focused AI systems work with deep domain expertise from postdoctoral research on microbial metabolism and a PhD studying gut microbiota interactions with C. difficile. His background spans industry and academia—Zymergen, Janssen, and university labs—where he built predictive models from 16S, metatranscriptomic, and metabolomic data. He is skilled at turning complex multi-omics datasets into actionable models and tooling that scale beyond exploratory analyses. Based in San Bruno, CA, he pairs rigorous experimental understanding with software engineering practices to drive reproducible, deployable solutions. An understated strength is his ability to bridge wet-lab intuition and computational systems design, enabling teams to translate biological hypotheses into robust AI-driven products.
