About me
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I am an engineer passionate about bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders to execute complex, cross-disciplinary, and innovative ideas.
I studied biotech engineering at Dartmouth and began my career in biotechnology R&D. Later, I transitioned to early-stage program development, delivering innovative solutions that transform homes and offices into healthier environments to live and work in.
I am always curious, constantly searching for and finding inspiration in the world around me, whether through the pages of a book, or by reading and learning about new technologies.
