Hi, I’m Ben Kepecs.

I’m a software developer, research scientist, and AI-native engineer always searching for my next high-impact project.

I graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University as a biochemistry major, and subsequently graduated with an M.S in computer science from Columbia’s graduate engineering program.

My research has been published in leading biomedical journals Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Cancer, and Gut.

I’m currently working full-time as a software engineer at Amazon in New York.

Genetically engineered bacteria to deliver cancer therapies to tumors with enhanced safety and precision. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Used statistical analysis on high-dimensional NGS data to characterize the tumor microenvironment of bile duct cancer, improving guidance of immunotherapy treatment. Published in Gut.
Computationally analyzed the role of TP53 gene mutations in shaping the tumor ecosystem of lung cancer. Published in Nature Cancer.

As an undergraduate and postgraduate researcher, I worked on several research projects at the intersection of biology, engineering, and computing. Some highlights:

Automated cancer detection in pathology images using a multi-input convolutional neural network. View it on Github.
Automatic identification of spoken languages using a time-delay neural network. Published to Arxiv.

As a software developer I am particularly interested in using state-of-the-art AI and deep learning methods to solve practical problems. Some projects I’ve worked on include:
