As a student of innovation, I'm working towards excellence across 3 domains:
Business… Identifying, creating, and marketing new innovations.
Technology… Studying for a master's at Columbia, focusing on biotech and polymers, and code for data analysis.
Design… Using human-centered design research techniques to identify latent customer needs.
