About Me
I love a bit of everything, from science to building startups, finance to enconomy! I think the world has countless interesting topics to explore, making it impossible for me to choose!
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, physical activities, and movies!
Experience
• After around 4-5 months of marketing wishwatch, I decided to shut it down due to high infra costs and competitions. Now thinking of my next project. Been a great experience though. No regret. For now just learning French + Having a general job (to pay my rent) + Side projects + Exercise. More to come.
• I've built a web application, WishWatch. It tracks prices across multiple stores for you. All you need to do is adding the URLs from your wishlist items, We watch the prices hourly then we notify you once it reaches your target price.
• After one year and 8 months in Medhesion, I decided to quit my job to focus more on my solopreneurship journey.
• Since September 2023, I had been working at a biotech startup called Medhesion. My supervisor Dr. Paul Kubes started this startup at his lab at the University of Calgary. At Medhesion, we develop and test therapeutics for patients suffering from post-surgical adhesions. My role is to test the newly synthesized drugs in vitro in mouse cells.
I do a lot of imaging and data analysis. Meanwhile, I study finance to better understand the life sciences ecosystem and the economy in general.
• During my undergrad, I did research in Dr Wee Yong's lab wehere I studied demylinating lesions in animal models of multiple sclerosis.
Core skills
