Product Strategy & Venture Creation | Portfolio Operations & Startup Building | Deep Tech & Healthcare

I build and work at the intersection of product, venture, and science. With a background in physics (MIT) and graduate training in design and business (MDes + MBA, Illinois Tech | MA, Carnegie Mellon), I’ve helped early-stage ventures move from idea to execution. My experience spans: -Product strategy & design — user research, prototyping, and human factors testing (including FDA submissions). -Venture creation & portfolio ops — financial models, TAM/SAM/SOM analyses, pitch decks, data rooms, and investor outreach. -Deep tech & healthcare — operational leadership at a diagnostics startup, consulting for health tech and biotech ventures, and hands-on work with research groups and clinical partners. I’ve also dabbled outside healthcare, from space elevator concepts to coronal-discharge thrusters. Highlights include: -Scaling a solo design consultancy to $550k+ revenue in its first two years. -Leading FDA human-factors testing for Abbott’s connected diabetes platforms (LibreView & LibreLinkUp), supporting successful 510(k) clearance. -Driving fundraising and product strategy as COO of a seed-stage diagnostics company. -I'm a founding contributor at the Positive Sum Design Institute and have presented our work at universities like Brown and Yale. I thrive in early-stage environments where rigorous science meets customer-centered products—and where building the right structure and strategy can make the difference between a promising idea and a viable company. Always open to positive-sum collaborations in product, venture, and deep tech + healthcare.
