Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSoheil Damangir is a biotech and AI entrepreneur and engineering leader with 15 years of experience building production-grade machine learning systems and founding startups that raised investment and achieved exits. As Co-Founder and CTO of Hepta and former Principal Scientist at GRAIL and AI engineer at Google, he has led teams across the full ML stack—from core research and distributed training infrastructure to regulated clinical products. He brings deep theoretical expertise in AI, statistics, and maths paired with hands-on software engineering, shipping solutions for large genomics datasets and continuous learning pipelines that materially reduced operational cost and data drift. His background includes founding a payments startup that used social-network autoencoders for credit scoring, plus research that produced widely used medical image segmentation tools across major universities. Comfortable navigating high-compliance environments, he blends executive experience from startups to multinationals with the technical rigor of a PhD in diagnostics. Not obvious from the title: he has repeatedly built both the infrastructure and the applied models, making him equally fluent in distributed systems design and clinical-grade ML modeling.
