Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across medical devices, industrial design, human factors, innovation strategy, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship, helping teams turn complex challenges into thoughtful, user-centered solutions. My experiences with healthcare organizations, product development teams, innovators, and my own entrepreneurial ventures have shaped how I approach leadership, design, and strategic problem solving. As I continue exploring opportunities to contribute at the board and advisory level, I’m pleased to share more about the experiences, values, and perspective I bring to the table. Here is my biography.

AI coding tools can move a startup from idea to MVP faster than ever, but they do not remove the need for real technical direction. The most effective builders use AI step by step: setting up the environment, importing the app into a real editor, breaking features into small prompts, reviewing changes, testing, debugging, and guiding the product forward one controlled piece at a time. AI is not a magic button for building complete apps; it is a powerful accelerator for founders who learn how to think, plan, and direct the development process like a technical co-founder.

I'm thrilled to share my professional biography, highlighting my journey in research, innovation, and community engagement. From health equity to applied anthropology, my work is driven by a commitment to creating meaningful change.
