Hey, it's Diya.

I'm an 18y/o building tools for people to regain their autonomy. Studying Bioengineering and Business at UC Berkeley M.E.T.

I also enjoy talking to strangers (sorry Mom), lifting weights, and listening to podcasts (RFH 🐐).

Currently:

— Tackling the issue of vendor management in clinical trials; On Deck Founder Fellow @ODF22

— Meeting amazing founders @LvlUpVentures

Previously:

— Addressed rudimentary systems by building biomarker visualization software for longevity clinics; Cohort 7 of Jason Calacanis' FounderUni

— Built an app to diagnose Parkinson's disease (delved into the lovely and wondrous world of HIPAA compliance)

— Developed tools to increase adolescent clinical trial recruitment rates @Yale Center for Clinical Investigation

I enjoy connecting with people who challenge my perspectives and help me see the world differently. I believe the best way to learn is through questioning our own beliefs. If you're interested in chatting, please reach out at:
