I consider myself a scientist, also a problem-solver, and my friends think that I am a bit of a geek.
Since an early age, I have been interested in the basic tools like math and physics because they could be used to analyze more complex systems.
My inter-disciplinary background and the application of scientific methods have been very useful in troubleshooting problems and overcoming challenges. I believe that there is nothing that cannot be solved with data and by asking the right questions.
Among the things that I am particularly proud of are: bringing agile to product development and building effective and happy teams.
My team won 3rd price at the 2021 MIT Hacking Medicine: Building for Digital Health.
I also have been blessed with great mentors and teachers that showed me the importance of staying curious and remaining a life-long learner.
