I believe technology is a gateway to changing this planet. Over the next twenty years, we'll see humans communicate, share, and adapt in ways we've never imagined - and I want to facilitate this. From personal lives, to multi-billion dollar businesses, technological challenges are real, and I thrive on solving them.
