<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>I’m a full-stack computational sensing engineer and technical leader with experience across biometric sensing (<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-27/apple-makes-major-progress-on-no-prick-blood-glucose-tracking" target=“blank”>Apple XDG</a>), drug discovery (<a href="http://insitro.com" target=“blank”>insitro</a>), and defense (<a href="http://disp.duke.edu/" target=“blank”>AWARE Project at Duke University</a>). I specialize in designing and deploying pragmatic, end-to-end sensing systems—from optics and electronics to software and machine learning—for decision-critical applications.
</p>
<p>My work blends signal processing, optical physics, and computer vision with scalable infrastructure for data generation and analysis. I thrive in execution-focused R&D environments, and enjoy designing and building complex systems under real-world constraints. Over the past few years, I’ve grown into technical leadership and people management, where I focus on clarity, sustainable execution, and empowering teams to solve hard problems with creativity.
</p>
<p>Currently, I lead the ML Imaging Team at insitro, where I oversee our imaging platform and develop high-throughput, ML-ready microscopy datasets to support early-stage drug discovery.
</p>
<p>I earned my PhD in computational imaging at <a href="https://eecs.berkeley.edu/" target=“blank”>UC Berkeley</a>, advised by <a href="https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Faculty/Homepages/waller.html" target=“blank”>Laura Waller</a> in the <a href="http://www.laurawaller.com" target=“blank”>Computational Imaging Lab</a>. I co-founded <a href="http://sci-microscopy.com" target=“blank”>SCI Microscopy</a>, a spin-out focused on open hardware for coded illumination. I completed my undergraduate work in biomedical engineering at <a href="https://www.bme.unc.edu" target=“blank”>UNC-Chapel Hill</a> and worked at Duke's DISP Lab prior to grad school.

<h3>Outside of Work</h3>
<p>When I’m not building things, I’m probably surfing, <a href="http://zackphillips.github.io" target=“blank”>sailing</a>, wingfoiling, or biking. I previously mentored 4th and 5th graders through the <a href="http://berc.berkeley.edu/programs/seed/" target=“blank”>SEED environmental education program</a> in Oakland, CA (2014–2018).
