About me

From altering genetic regulation logic to helping to alter a company's view of IP licensing in the automotive industry, I have come a long way.

Along my journey, I have tried to learn from my distinguished mentors,
and use my intelligence, creativity and perseverance to perform, deliver and grow in my different roles and jobs.
