About Me
I like to describe myself as a Swiss Army knife. I design, prototype, analyze, code and do it in a way that matters with pinch of creativity.
So far, my work has mainly focused on improving human mobility and designing assistive technologies for people with disabilities, which taught me to design with empathy, consider edge cases, and being comfortable working on unconventional problems.
My journey has taken me across the U.S., Belgium, Italy, and Turkey, where I’ve worked with diverse engineering teams and met with amazing people. In the current stop, I am graduate researcher at UNC Chapel Hill.

I also enjoy framing the world through my own perspective.
