I am a product manager & designer. I have 6+ years of experience in driving agile product development, UX/UI design, and platform management - with previous stints at United Nations, Federal Government of Canada, HydroOne, BlackBerry Ltd; in addition to a couple of startups including ones with Google For Entrepreneurship, YC, and LaunchYU.
Currently, I am helping build up the United Nations' Quality of Life Smart City Initative, and by night you can find me building up community at CivicTech Waterloo Region.
My passion is in how human behaviour is affected by design-elements & systems-attributions. I am also an avid photographer, and cyclist / cycling instructor. And sometimes I do act or manage a musicals on a local stage!
