0 to 1 product specialist with experience building and leading teams from the ground up. I believe that biology is the future of technology. As a bio-optimist entrepreneur and operator, I am motivated by the potential of biology and obsessed with the cutting edge of software, hardware, and AI. I have co-founded and led multiple ventures in the biotech space, including as Banting, Canid, and Koniku, where I applied my analytical skills, creative problem-solving, and strategy to create impactful solutions. I also have a PhD in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences and a background in academia and consulting, where I developed my research, communication, and collaboration skills.

I’m a software engineer and technical leader with expertise in both the human and technical aspects of innovation. My passion for understanding human behavior, combined with my technical skills, allows me to create solutions that resonate with users. I began my career in startups, collaborating with PhD-level engineers on groundbreaking projects like fiber optics for space and nanomaterials for solar panels. Since then, I’ve worked on building data pipelines for an IoT startup using AWS, developing cross-platform apps, and creating a social media platform for podcast conversations. In larger enterprises with teams of up to 2,000 people, I’ve managed communications with multiple stakeholders, integrated third-party systems, and led Agile teams, particularly within Scrum. As a technical co-founder, I helped scale a startup now serving over 31,000 organizations in North America. I enjoy building great software and I’m committed to staying at the forefront of technology and building user-centered software that drives business success.
