About Me

I'm a biomedical engineer turned serial startup founder. I believe we need more researcher-led companies pushing the boundaries of what is possible to solve humanity's biggest challenges.

"In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth. For nothing is more precious than the life force and may the love of that force guide you as you go." (Patti Smith)
