you know, pathologies or issues early based on, you know, the natural sounds and the natural utterances and, you know, that are happening to understand if there is something that, you know, there's a way it could be helped.

Oh, boy.

Human technology intersection and perception is my core, right?

I say perception, but the world is data.

And how our brains take in the data that we consume to optimize how we experience the world is what I care about across all of what I've spent my time doing.

And for me, technology is such a huge part of that.

that it is, you know, I like to innovate, I like to build things, but I also like to think about how do we improve human performance.

Core to improving human performance is understanding how we're different, not just how we're similar, but, you know, the nuances of how our brains are shaped and how they're influenced.

And thus, why I care, you know, I've spent so much time in neuroplasticity, and it is at the intersection of everything is how are we changing and how do we harness that?

How do we make it something that we have agency over?

whether it's from the technologies we build and we innovate to the point of I want to feel better.

I want to be successful.

I don't want that to be something left to surprise me, right?

So you asked me how did I get there.

One thing that – so I was a violinist back in the day.

I'm still a violinist.

Music is a part of my life.

But I was studying music and engineering.

Oh, when I was an undergrad.
