AI Automation for Biotech in La Jolla — Built by a Local Operator
Torrey Pines Mesa runs on research ops, regulatory paperwork, and lab logistics. I build AI workflows that quietly eat the busywork — no retainers, no enterprise BS, you own the code.
The Short Answer
- $100/hr, no retainer — you pay for what you use, keep every workflow, API key, and script. I'm local (Encinitas), so drop-ins to Torrey Pines or UTC are easy.
- Biotech-specific automation — SOP drafting, protocol summarization, CRO correspondence triage, grant narrative drafts, regulatory doc cross-referencing, ELN data pipelines.
- Private by default — local LLMs, private Azure/AWS endpoints, no training on your data. Critical when you're pre-clinical or handling IP you haven't filed yet.
- Real deliverables in days, not quarters — most La Jolla biotech teams see their first working automation (e.g., PubMed digest → Slack, or auto-tagged lab notebooks) inside week one.
La Jolla biotech isn't generic tech. Between the Torrey Pines corridor, Sanford Consortium, Salk, Scripps Research, and the dozens of venture-backed startups along North Torrey Pines Road, you've got a concentration of scientific talent that shouldn't be spending their day reformatting CSVs or chasing vendor emails.
I'm PJ — born and raised on this coast, based out of Encinitas/Solana Beach, fifteen minutes up the 5 from your lab. I build AI automation specifically for the kind of ops work that eats biotech teams alive: the literature reviews, the IRB paperwork, the assay data wrangling, the investor update drafts. Same coffee shops, same traffic, same zip code.
Research & Literature Ops
Auto-digest PubMed, bioRxiv, and patent filings on your target. Daily briefs summarizing relevant methods, competitor moves, and citation graphs — delivered to Slack or email before the first standup.
Regulatory & Quality Docs
Draft SOPs, 510(k) sections, IND narrative components, and deviation reports against your existing template library. The AI writes the first 80% — your QA lead edits the last 20% instead of starting from a blank page.
Lab Data Pipelines
Connect Benchling, LabArchives, or raw instrument outputs to downstream analysis and reporting. Auto-tag experiments, flag anomalies, generate weekly PI summaries without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
Grant & Investor Workflow
SBIR/STTR narrative drafting from your existing portfolio, competitor diligence briefs, auto-formatted investor updates pulling from your research ops and financials. Saves PIs 10+ hours per grant cycle.
CRO & Vendor Management
Email triage for CRO correspondence, auto-summarized status reports, contract clause extraction, and flagging of milestone slippage. Your program managers get their afternoons back.
Private Deployment
Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or local Llama/Mistral setups — your data never leaves your tenancy. Critical for pre-IP, pre-publication, and anything touching PHI or preclinical datasets.
I've been on this coast my whole life — I know the difference between La Jolla biotech culture and generic Silicon Valley SaaS. You need automation that respects IP, works with your existing stack (Benchling, Slack, Notion, whatever), and doesn't require a six-month enterprise rollout.
Text me what's eating your team's week. I'll tell you straight up if AI can fix it or if you just need better process — no sales call required.

Local operator, La Jolla-adjacent, biotech-literate. No retainers, no decks, no nonsense.
