Summary
Through my foundation in economics and mathematics, I bring a unique perspective to mechanical engineering challenges. My mathematical background equipped me with strong analytical problem-solving skills, while economics taught me to consider broader system and market-level dynamics. This cross-disciplinary experience has proven valuable in startup environments, where I've seen firsthand how combining technical and market understanding leads to better product development decisions.
