About Me

I'm a big believer in bridging technology's promise with its practical impact and remain fascinated by computation's ability to shape medicine.

Selected Thoughts

What are you scared of?

Expectations aren't a burden; they're a privilege. Because it could be worse—no one could expect anything at all. I don't fear failure. I fear misplacing time—not on ideas that don't work or projects that fall short, but on things that weren't for me in the first place. It's easy to get caught in the illusion of movement—saying yes too much, solving the wrong problems, mistaking busyness for impact. A week spent on something pointless isn't just a week lost but a week stolen from something better. The difference between circular motion and the ideal trajectory is taking the time to know why you're moving. But the way out isn't hesitation. It's choosing with intention, chasing ideas that matter, and understanding that saying no to the wrong thing is the only way to say yes to the right one. Time spent pushing forward, questioning, and stumbling is never wasted so long as it leads somewhere worth going.
