Professionally I am an experienced UX designer and software engineer.

I continue to serve as an advisor, mentor, speaker, coach and friend at multiple companies, startup organizations, accelerators and investment firms around the Asia, US and Europe. With a mix of programming and data science skills, I bring hands-on experience to designing, building, and launching both online technology products for web and mobile and offline training programs and event management. I have worked in sales, business development and leadership roles across multiple countries and am accomplished launching and growing new products and programs in new markets and regions. Increasingly my personal and professional focus is on data-driven products with an interest in healthtech, healthcare and wellness space involving cutting edge life sciences.
