PhD Neuroscience, University of Melbourne · Postdoctoral research in Melbourne and San Francisco · APAC experience across science, operations, product, and business development
I began in neuroscience because I wanted to understand complex systems. I moved beyond the laboratory when I realised that knowledge without translation is incomplete.
My work since then has crossed research, biotech operations, product development, business development, cancer research, and AI-enabled building. The common thread is turning complexity into practical progress.

I try to keep one question with me:
If today were all I had left, would I still be doing this?
Memento Mori
Remember that life is finite. Build a life that feels meaningful.
Career is not the destination. It is a vehicle to learn, serve, experience life, and become more fully human.
Promising science. Unclear commercial next step?
I work best with teams that have strong ideas but need clearer commercial direction, stronger partnerships, or a practical route forward.
We should know within the first conversation whether I am the right person to help.
