Michael Lampe is a software engineer blending 11 years of production experience in machine learning, data engineering, and synthetic biology software to build systems that harness biochemical processes. Currently a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI, he previously bootstrapped data and consumer-facing infrastructure at a biotech startup, operationalized bioinformatics pipelines on Kubernetes, and shipped account-safety ML tooling at Apple. His background in both computer science and biochemistry enables him to bridge lab workflows and scalable cloud systems—designing everything from QR-driven kit activation and 3PL fulfillment flows to scalable molecule-discovery tooling. Notably, he was the first IC software hire at Cellular Longevity, demonstrating a talent for turning empty AWS accounts into production platforms and shipping end-to-end products. Based in San Francisco, he combines hands-on engineering with a persistent curiosity about engineering novel organisms from tamed biochemical parts.
