Passionately curious about the world. As a big advocate of divergent and analogical thinking, I like to challenge the status quo while building a realistic framework for execution.

I am a hybrid of product, business strategy, and finance. Over the years, I have built an array of products from ground up, including cloud solutions, IoT products, SaaS, and even my own restaurant's menu/recipes. I have been extremely fortunate to live and work in various parts of the world. Through those adventures, I've learned the value of perspective and its role in designing for the future.
