Please introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m a passionate human who had the privilege of exploring diverse fields throughout life and career.
I have always been captivated by the power of innovation, which led me to invent a medical device and own a patent in the field of biomedical engineering. However, my curiosity extended beyond Engineering, pushing me to venture into the world of art and languages and even write a book on artistic learning.
In the early stages of my career, I started working as a contract engineer in the oil and gas industry, where It helped me to seek invaluable experience and learn to be disciplined and committed. However, my entrepreneurial spirit drove me further when I started doing my masters of business and administration. I took a leap of faith and established a startup company focused on selling medical devices.
This journey allowed me to combine my engineering expertise with my passion for innovation, leading to the creation of a groundbreaking medical device that has the potential to make a significant impact.
Throughout my experiences, I have always believed in pushing boundaries, embracing new challenges, and inspiring others to pursue their dreams. I am here today to share my story, my expertise, and my enthusiasm for innovation.
