In this role, I work collaboratively with engineering, sales, demand planning, supply chain, and procurement to ensure we develop industry-leading products and transition smoothly between current-gen and next-gen offerings. I’m also a former scientist whose research background encompasses fisheries population dynamics, fish biology & physiology, and technology development for aquatic sciences. For the past several years, I have been active in developing and evaluating cutting-edge technologies for aquatic science research. Examples of these technologies include field & laboratory electro-narcosis equipment and environmental DNA detection technologies.
Professional Goal
I aspire to be at the forefront of technology development, whether it is in computer technology, fisheries, or CPG. I am energized by the opportunity to ideate and develop technologies that solve customer pain points and provide impactful solutions. Subsequently, my career goal is to be a director who oversees a team of engineers, design specialists, and product managers that form the end-to-end process of technology development from concepts to products, then from marketing through sales of those technologies.
