About

I am passionate about creating innovative solutions that make tangible difference in people's lives. I aspire to be that person to bridge the gap by making technologies more human. My interest lies in developing products that enhance user experiences and improve everyday life. I am also deeply motivated by the challenge of understanding diverse user needs and translating them into effective, user-friendly designs. Transitioning from construction project management to tech product management, I bring a unique blend of project execution, problem-solving, and leadership skills to the iii. Managing complex construction projects has refined my ability to work with diverse stakeholders by fostering effective cross-functional collaboration. This experience has honed my organisational skills, attention to detail, and ability to see things from different perspectives. Additionally, my adventurous spirit and love for outdoor activities and team sports fuel my creative thinking and resilience. Leveraging these skills and interests, I aim to contribute effectively to innovative solutions at the iii. 

Why MIIPS?

I was drawn to the MIIPS program because of its unique integration of business, engineering, and design, which provides valuable insight into various disciplines. The program's emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and real-world problem-solving is particularly appealing, especially the opportunity to work with real clients on the capstone project. Additionally, the extensive curriculum offers the chance to learn and understand different aspects of tech, making it an ideal environment for my transition into the industry. This blend of practical experience and academic rigour at CMU makes the MIIPS program the perfect fit for my professional growth.
