Logan Nye, MD Medicine ∧ Machine Intelligence

Growing up on a cattle farm meant feeding animals, repairing machinery, and helping neighbors. Farm work and manual labor taught me to work with my hands and stay with a problem until it’s finished.

My mother’s work as a nurse practitioner showed me how practical skill could help people. I decided early that I wanted to become a doctor.

During medical school, I began making and selling hardwood furniture to pay for my pet’s surgery. That first business showed me how much I enjoyed building products and solving unfamiliar problems.

Working with patients far from specialist care made me wonder how I could help beyond the places I could work. When a research project required measurements on thousands of X-rays, I taught myself enough Python to build a machine-learning tool.

As my interest in AI deepened, I began to reconsider the surgical career I’d spent years preparing for. I chose to pursue computer science at Carnegie Mellon, intending to become a founder and wanting the technical foundation to build the systems myself.

I’m now building AI systems to understand disease and develop better treatments.

I bring a physician’s concern for patients, a builder’s desire to make things work, and a willingness to learn what the next problem requires.
