About Eugene Zhou

I've always followed whatever I'm curious about. That's led me in some weird directions—a PhD in therapeutics, an MBA, competitive intelligence at a biotech company, and now building things with AI on nights and weekends.

The PhD taught me how to think about problems. Five years of research, experiments, and figuring out why things don't work the way you expected. The MBA was supposed to prepare me for startups, but mostly taught me that the frameworks they teach in business school don't apply to scrappy teams figuring things out as they go. Both were humbling.

Now I do competitive intelligence at Amgen—research meets strategy, trying to see what's coming in biotech. It wasn't the plan, but it turned out to be a good fit for how my brain works.

The building part is newer. When AI tools got good enough that I could actually make things without being a developer, I couldn't stop. This site, my side projects, the automations I tinker with—all built with Claude and Cursor doing the heavy lifting while I figure out what I want to make.

I don't know exactly where this leads. That's kind of the point. I'm just following the curiosity and seeing what happens.
