Cat is a software engineer and community builder working at the intersection of AI and biology, with a particular focus on longevity, developmental biology, and computational biology. She was a core contributor to VitaDAO during its first two years, helping shape one of the earliest and most influential efforts to fund and decentralize longevity research. At Zuzalu, she was one of the main organizers of the longevity programming and created "Longevity Zero to One," a comprehensive crash course designed to bring technical talent into the field and equip newcomers to move from foundational understanding to ambitious, field-advancing work. She has spoken at a range of longevity and crypto conferences, and has built tools across the longevity space, including work with companies focused on replacement. Beyond the technical, Cat is invested in longevity advocacy as a cultural project—believing that radical life extension depends not only on scientific breakthroughs but on shifting how society imagines aging, and on cultivating the talent and shared conviction to pursue the mission.
