About

Julian Duran is the Founder and CTO of AsterMind AI, where he leads the development of biologically inspired, deterministic intelligence systems such as Radial Starfish (RSF) and CyFly. With a degree in Clinical Laboratory Science and early experience as a medical technologist, Julian developed a deep appreciation for precision, evidence, and system-level thinking — principles that now define his approach to building cybernetic software. He specializes in architecting deterministic, audit-grade AI systems that bridge biology, data normalization, and real-world industrial applications. Blending scientific rigor with full-stack engineering expertise, Julian is pioneering a new class of structured, memory-rich intelligence engines designed for compliance, digital twins, and autonomous systems.

Lab Assistant

  • I currently work at Scottsdale Healthcare as a lab assistant in both Microbiology, and Blood bank. I obtained this position shortly after starting school to be a medical technologist having little knowledge of anything in the lab. Since then I have quickly learned everything my colleges had to teach me, and have excelled at my job. I continually learn new things every day that I work here by my own experience, and watching and asking the technologists what they are doing and if I can participate in any way. I love my job because it has been a challenging and rewarding career. I get to do the two things I love best helping people feel better and science. The only thing more I could ask for is to finish my education so that I can be more efficient and helpful to my patients and colleges.
