Olatomiwa 'Bif' Bifarin

Hey! 👋🏿 My name is Olatomiwa Bifarin, and I also go by Bif.

Back in the day, I used to code in Python by hand, and I have always liked the idea of being a great designer. I’ve worked as a secondary school teacher; I have been an unserious YouTuber; and I’ve been a grad student studying yeast genomics and Caenorhabditis elegans. I hold a PhD in Biochemistry.

I am a decent soccer goalkeeper, an AI engineer, and an essayist. Over the years, I’ve studied cancer metabolism, written a tiny book, and served as a Sunday school teacher. I was a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech, where I conducted applied machine learning and biomedical research. You can find my academic page here. Ethnically, I am Yoruba.

I’m also a runner (~40 km on a good week), partly for the endocannabinoids, partly to justify my audiobook and podcast habit.

Currently, I am on a self-imposed career break to deepen my expertise in AI-assisted software engineering and to focus on self-directed AI engineering projects.
