I am an applied physicist with an interest in engineering and problem solving. I am a former master carpenter, which taught me customer service skills, attention to detail and critical thinking skills.I am currently an application scientist at startup venture studio Early Charm Ventures. I contribute to the scientific and technical development of several technologies in Early Charm's portfolio of startup companies. Under the Early Charm umbrella, I also work on tech applications for Minnowtech, a startup that is developing a sonar device for shrimp and fish farming, and for Materic, a company which specializes in advanced materials manufacturing.
