Summary
Michael Otte is a senior full-stack developer and health-tech founder with over two decades of engineering experience and a deep interdisciplinary background in anthropology, biology, and clinical care. He founded Lux Health and previously served as CTO at Freenome, where he helped create an AI-driven early cancer diagnostics platform from clinical blood draws. Comfortable across Swift, JavaScript, and Python, he architects scalable, secure clinical data platforms that fuse statistical learning with real-world clinical workflows and integrations.
