Previously engaged in biomedical technology, I contributed to neuroscience research by developing a spike sorting algorithm, and leading a project to improve palliative care through tech-enabled solutions. Alongside, I’ve always enjoyed sharing knowledge, be it through tutoring engineering subjects in the lab of my university, leading martial arts groups for kids and adults, or introducing collaborative digital tools for perpetual knowledge management to the co-workers.
