Top SchoolMayk Caldas is a computational scientist turned early-stage engineering lead with 10 years of experience applying molecular simulation and software engineering to real-world problems. After a PhD and postdoctoral work focused on dendrimer-based drug delivery — including authoring tools like PyPolyBuilder and dendriDocker for GROMACS workflows — he transitioned to technical staff roles at startups in the Bay Area. He combines deep domain expertise in molecular dynamics and topology generation with practical product engineering, now shaping infrastructure and algorithms as a founding member of technical staff. Based in San Francisco, he brings academic rigor to fast-moving teams, shipping reproducible, automation-first tooling that bridges research and production. An understated strength is his history of building research software that anticipates deployment needs, shortening the path from simulation prototype to usable system.
