― My background

I discovered my passion for product when I transitioned to the education technology field, working primarily in virtual reality. I approach issues with an analytical eye and believe that the little details are the most important, a sentiment derived from my background in microbiology. As an early adopter of AI, I have a thorough appreciation of how its capabilities have developed over the years. I consistently innovate products and workflows, and I remain on the cutting edge of the field.
