Divyansh Lalwani

I am the founder and CEO of LayerNorm, where we are building Overlay: a control plane for AI employees that enterprises can create, manage, and deploy wherever work happens. Overlay is open source and self-hostable.

Previously, I studied biomedical engineering and applied math at Johns Hopkins, automated FDA submission checks at Bristol Myers Squibb, and did research on brain-computer interfaces at the Thakor Lab and stroke diagnostics with AptaTech.

I was also a Neo Scholar Finalist and a builder at Founders, Inc.
