Personal Details

Bio

I believe in the power of the individual, that each of us can do incredible things once we start recognizing the potential within us. As a passionate person and empowered engineer, I eagerly use my boundless curiosity to imagine ideas and build creative solutions with a broad spectrum of technologies, from Internet of Things (IoT) and hardware to space and everything in between. I am a huge enthusiast and practitioner of customized education, building human culture, and creating endless partnerships for a strong, thriving global community. Because of my diverse set of interests and depths of fascination, I have been speaking to technical and non-technical audiences, high schools to CEOs, young to (g)old. We are all so capable - we just need to spark our desire to learn for life, utilize tools around us to build what we want, and continue contributing positively to our future.

Although I was hesitant of speaking in front of people, I recognized that my purpose was stronger than my fear. I have always wanted to give people a dream to be thrilled about (their recognition and realization of their dream), give practical tools for their purpose, and send them on their way. We need constant motivation, so I often hope to be one of those moments that help them along their journey.

(And, just for fun, I love to create and solve my own mathematical theorems, patterns, and problems, described by my playful poetry and drawings. Life is for living fully, and wherever I live, that place becomes my playground. Basically, I embrace being a nerd, and that is why I created my own company to be my creative outlet. Welcome to Playful Ponderies.)
