I'm an AI engineer and entrepreneur helping life‑science companies move from AI‑curious to AI‑led — through practical software, open‑source in‑silico workflows, and the organisational change needed to make it stick.

Engineering discipline meets AI momentum

At heart, I'm an engineer. I enjoy solving systems problems — understanding how the pieces fit together, where the friction is, and what it takes to make something work reliably at scale. That instinct shapes everything I build.

What excites me about this moment is the raw momentum that AI brings. The speed at which ideas can become working software has fundamentally changed. But speed without discipline produces fragile systems, hallucinated outputs, and technical debt that compounds fast.

I believe the real opportunity is in combining both: the acceleration AI offers with the rigour that engineering demands. That's the thread running through all my work — from teaching scientists to vibe‑code responsibly, to building test‑first workflows that keep AI agents honest, to deploying autonomous research platforms that scientists can actually trust.

Life sciences has an AI adoption problem — and it takes more than technology to fix it

Most pharma and biotech organisations — both drug‑discovery companies and the vendors that serve them — know they need AI. But knowing and doing are very different things.

The gap isn't one capability. It's a jigsaw of interconnected pieces: how teams write and ship software, how computational scientists run in‑silico experiments, how lab data flows through automated workflows, how leadership structures adapt, and whether the culture genuinely supports change or merely talks about it.

Solving any one piece in isolation delivers limited value. The opportunity is in solving them together.

That's why John Conway (Founder & Chief Visioneer, 20/15 Visioneers) and I have partnered to address the full jigsaw — combining AI engineering and in‑silico software with organisational change, culture transformation, and FAIR data strategy. Between us, we cover the technical foundation and the human infrastructure that AI adoption demands.

Five interconnected capabilities required for AI transformation in life sciences

Vibe Coding for Scientists

A guide to AI‑assisted development for scientific workflows — teaching scientists how to use AI tools like Claude and Cursor AI to build applications. Not about building LLM systems; about getting scientists productive with code, fast.

Education

Test‑First Orchestrator

AI coding agents generate working POCs in minutes — but POCs lack test coverage, error handling, type safety, and modular architecture. This is a test‑first development workflow for Claude Code that enforces the discipline AI agents bypass when left unconstrained.

Dev tooling

ScienceClaw

An autonomous research platform for life sciences. It scans news, conducts deep research across your portfolio, finds cross‑domain connections, analyses datasets, and answers ad‑hoc questions — all through email, with no software to install.

Platform
"Raminderpal, you really have a gift for this kind of teaching, and I think your time was well spent with the Broad crowd – they're quite likely to adopt the tools, teach their future labs, and spread the word!"
"This was an exceptionally useful introduction to vibe coding. Your portal is the missing manual that can get people going in one weekend!"
Dr Anne Carpenter
Senior Director, Broad Institute at Harvard & MIT
Scientific and Technical Advisory Board Member, Recursion Pharmaceuticals

community members

A non‑profit grass‑roots community accelerating the adoption of AI/ML and data in drug discovery & development. Members include bench scientists, data scientists, mathematicians, business owners, executives, and academics — all focused on fixing the disconnect between AI/ML/GenAI and its practical application in early drug discovery.

AI in Drug Discovery

Regular column in Drug Target Review exploring the real‑world application of AI, ML, and generative AI in drug discovery — cutting through the hype to examine what actually works, what doesn't, and what the industry needs to do differently.
