Biography

Upon completing my Ph.D in E&E Engineering, I had a 12-year career in investment banking, where I worked at Director-level for seven years trading complex financial derivatives. Two years ago, I took a career break and moved to the Seattle area with my family to look after my two preteen sons. I have recently completed a Master in Public Administration program, where I focused on nonprofits and governments.

Edit: I've completed the MIDS program in Summer '20 and here is the Capstone Project I did with my team (https://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/projects/2020/virtual-classroom-ta-tak…).
