“I have an academic background in computational neuroscience. After founding a startup, I knew I wanted to stay in the tech and startup world. Then I was misdiagnosed with a terminal illness, which I fortunately did not have. That experience made me want to work in deep tech and science to contribute meaningfully to drug discovery or diagnostics. Quantum technology felt like a natural fit.”
