INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Ever since my first independent project designing a toothbrush for people with braces in 7th grade, I've been interested in engineering for the greater good in the field of diverse sciences from biology to chemistry to environmental science to physics.

DATA SCIENCE

The rapidly developing technological world has so much potential to uncover hidden patterns that are not easily distinguishable by the human eye. I'm passionate about building algorithms to extract insights from structured and provide ways to better respond to larger problems like pandemics, natural disasters, etc.

PRODUCT DESIGN

I express my creative side through digital platforms on the multi-dimensional level. Aside from the conventional 2D drawings I create in my free time, I love to prototype products using CAD to address needs namely in public health.

APP DEVELOPMENT

With more than 7.7 billion smartphone users in the world, I'm convinced that apps are the most efficient way to make an impact on a large audience. I've self-studied various coding languages and how to use app building platforms to involve myself with the front-end and back-end of developing apps for a wide range of stakeholders.

PHYSICS

Some of my physics projects test hypotheses regarding the natural theories and characteristics of physics. Other projects discuss physics in various fields, like biology and environmental science, which gave me the opportunity to become interested in a wide variety of sciences.

WELLNESS RESEARCH

Stress and anxiety, emotional fluctuations are a significant problem in today's fast-moving and technologically-advancing society. I strongly believe in the importance of using science and technology for the wellbeing of people and to improve their quality of life.
