About

Innovator and technology leader with over 15 years of experience across electronics, software development, cloud computing, AI, and data analytics, I bring deep expertise in both research and entrepreneurial roles. As Co-founder & CTO of PreciX, I led the development of GATOR—an advanced AI-powered motion analytics platform that leverages multi-sensor fusion to deliver clinically relevant insights across healthcare and performance domains.

Throughout my career, I've worked extensively in MedTech, navigating regulatory approvals (ISO 13485, HSA, FDA) and driving product innovation. My work spans signal processing, wearable sensors, ultrasound, and image processing, with a focus on creating solutions that bridge research and real-world impact.

I hold a Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and am an alum of the Singapore-Stanford Biodesign Innovation Class. Passionate about sustainability, I've also contributed significantly to eco-friendly energy solutions. With a unique blend of deep technical expertise and strategic leadership, I thrive on bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world solutions to drive innovation across disciplines toward impactful outcomes.

Leading with deep tech, innovation, and purpose to deliver solutions that drive impact and improve lives.
