Work with me
Hi, I'm Hristos (Evan) Bilis. I help pharma teams get good use out of AI.
I've spent 15 years in pharma, and I validate AI and build it with clients in the industry. Write to me about a project you have in mind, or a problem AI might help with.
What I help with
- Choosing which AI projects to take on Step by step, with the AI Project Discovery Framework.
- Running the project The process and its cost come first, as in "Lock the process and what it costs before you look for AI".
- Using AI on work your team already does This is a thread through my writing.
- Validating AI where GxP applies GxP is the set of good practice rules for regulated pharma work. We start with how much validation the system needs.
How we start
A first project takes on one problem, with a clear scope, and the work is done through Lean Biologix.
A bit about me
I keep the Pharma AI Tracker, a sourced record of the AI initiatives the largest pharma companies have disclosed. My stages, from Discovery to Adoption and Improvement, are on the frameworks page.
FAQ
Do I need to know which AI project I want before I get in touch?
No. It's fine to write before anything is settled. Some of the most useful conversations are about whether an idea should be an AI project at all. Sometimes the honest answer is that it shouldn't, or that something smaller than a new system will do the job.
Does every AI system in pharma need full validation?
Not necessarily. Validation is the proof that a system does what it should. It's needed when a system touches records or decisions that pharma regulations cover, and how much depends on what it's used for. So settle early whether GxP applies.
What should I put in my first email?
Tell me about the problem, not the tool. Say what the work looks like today and where it slows down or goes wrong. If you have an AI project in mind or underway, say where it stands. If the work involves regulated records, mention that too.

Write with what you have. It doesn't need to be tidy.
