About Me

A Mechanical Engineer currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Engineering Management through the University of Colorado, Boulder with a product management specialization.

I believe that innovation is essential to the sustainable success of business and that without it business will not be able to fulfill its win-win proposition to society; to increase the quality of life through products and services while also creating wealth.

I'm interested in product management because of its complexity, challenge, and creativity along with the honorable reward of a better world for all.
