MSSM, 2027
What unique skills or interests do you bring to the iii?
Coming from a Molecular Biology background, I’ve grown to view technology not just as static code, but as an adaptive system that evolves within human constraints. I am genuinely curious about how these systems behave in the real world when faced with complex variables. I look forward to sharing this perspective and learning from the diverse experiences of my peers at the iii.
Why MSSM?
I chose MSSM to bridge the gap between engineering depth and strategic management. I am particularly drawn to the program’s unique integration of advanced CS coursework and practical product training. This multidisciplinary framework is exactly what I need to evolve into a leader who can navigate complex technical landscapes while driving meaningful business impact.

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?
Post-graduation, I aim to lead the development of large-scale platforms, focusing on the intersection of technical architecture, data governance, and user trust. I am particularly interested in responsible AI deployment and how biological principles of resilience can inform more secure, autonomous systems. My goal is to apply these insights to create technology that is both intelligent and safe for society.
