Bio

I am a patent examiner with a background in biomedical engineering and medical physics, and more than two decades of experience in examining patent applications in the field of medical technology. My technical expertise is broad, spreading across diverse areas of medical technology, ranging from medical implants and surgical instruments to medical instrumentation and measurements to digital health. Moreover, I have acquired extensive knowledge in various patent-related matters, including patent prosecution, patent search and analysis, and patent classification.

In my spare time, I make and hack smart things for personal health and fitness tracking, and explore the history of technology and innovation through historical patents and trademarks. When I am not doing all the above, I run long and ultra-long distances on trails, and explore wild and faraway places.
