Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAugustine Dunn is a Principal Bioinformatician with 11 years of experience building agentic AI systems, production data infrastructure, and end-to-end analysis pipelines that accelerate biomedical discovery. He architects conversational agents and natural language→query interfaces for multi-omic datasets—spatial transcriptomics and a 1.15M-cell human atlas among them—so scientists can explore complex data with citation-ready, provenance-tracked results rather than LLM hallucinations. Augustine combines deep domain knowledge in transcriptomics and mechanistic modeling with software engineering best practices (PydanticAI orchestration, DuckDB/Postgres patterns, S3-backed ETL) to make data composable for both human and agent workflows. He has repeatedly scaled tools into production at Flagship Pioneering and Pioneering Intelligence, enabling agent-to-agent collaboration and rapid reuse of mechanistic model components. Comfortable translating between biology and code, he focuses on pragmatic, reproducible systems that lower the barrier for non-computational scientists to run rigorous analyses.
