Career Path: 

At UCI, I was involved in immunology research and upon graduation, my interests in molecular biology led me to Zymo Research, a small biotech. I began work as a Research Associate and did extensive R&D and brought to market 10 different nucleic acid extraction kits. Following that, I was promoted to Automation Product Manager and lead an R&D team as the primary expert on lab robotics and liquid handlers. This position mainly involved developing new product strategy and roadmap, ongoing care of current product lines, and serving as the bridge between R&D and marketing. Now I started my own business, Everlink Technologies, dealing in pressure switches and other electromechanical components for HVAC and industrial applications.
