Asha Rostamianfar is the Head of Engineering at Deep Genomics. He and his team have the mission to engineer software around genome biology to accelerate data-centric, AI-driven drug discovery and development processes.

Prior to Deep Genomics, he worked at Color Health, where he was the technical lead of the bioinformatics team. At Color, he primarily focused on building the large-scale computational infrastructure to process all of Color’s genomic data as well as supporting large-scale initiatives like the NIH All of Us Research Program. Prior to that, he worked at Google for more than 7 years and was one of the founding members of the Google Cloud Healthcare & Life Sciences initiative. He led a team of engineers to build software solutions to analyze genomic data at scale on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). He also led a team of engineers to develop novel solutions for combating malware in Google’s advertising network via both machine learning models and efficient manual review tools.

Asha received a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from the University of Waterloo, and a master’s degree in Computational Biology from the University of Toronto.
