A large number of skill sets have taken me on a career journey through the mountainous land of Startup initiatives, through the bulls and bears of Finance, and the onward trajectory of Artificial Intelligence. During my escapades, I had to compose Grant Proposals, conduct Investment Research, and assess and formulate Estate Plans. I tend rather to enjoy my work, throwing myself into it and garnering licensing and promotions rather quickly. I look forward to the twists and turns in the road ahead.
