Resume
About me: My background is in biomedical engineering due to my love of design and science, and I have worked in the electronics, communications and biotech industry. During my spare time I dabble in art, design, computers, crafts and all sorts of things, resulting in such oddities as geeky comics, anime figure prototyping, game programming, and recently paper engineering...
Starting this year I will combine my biomedical know-how and art experience into a graduate degree, with the Medical Biocommunications program at U of Toronto!
