Profile highlights

The best product I’ve worked on…: I've spent close to 6 years building the MRI scanner, starting from scratch till clinical deployment. It's the only product I worked on and I'm proud of that.

What's hard for others but easy for me…: A messy problem statement. Building MRI scanners taught me everything from hardware -> physics -> Math -> engineering -> sales -> investment.

The hardest problem I've personally solved...: Diffusion Imaging with my MRI scanner where I had to deal with Magnets, Eddy currents, Electromagnetics, MR physics, Signal Processing, Reconstruction, Clinical
