PERSONAL STATEMENT
Curiosity. Technology. Ecommerce. Passion. Food.
​
Technology is great. But if used well, it's awesome in many ways that advance our lives and enrich our intellectual curiosity. While technology feeds my curious minds, good food feeds my stomach. My hobby is being a foodie. I find creativity and orchestration of resources in food, just like in developing a product.

STORY
I started off my engineering career in Silicon Valley as junior hardware engineer at a startup. Through the acquisition of the startup, I got to learn the process of engineering in a bigger scale. My desire to learn business took me to NYU Stern for MBA, and ended up at Amazon.com in Operations while maintaining technology side of me.
​
Having had experience of startup, exit, big tech companies, and MBA, a new journey began; a startup of my own. Mission was simple. Let's make a positive world by helping people cope with stress and negativities. During the process of running the company many solutions were sought out and tested. New business opportunities in HR analytics using machine learning were discovered.
