Biology & hydroponics
Growing plants is an exercise in understanding living systems and maintaining the conditions they need.
Controlled environments.
My original portfolio describes years of hands-on horticulture and hydroponics work. This experience motivated the GrowRight system, which was designed to help maintain and monitor growing conditions while reducing repetitive tasks.
Biology informs engineering.
Stable nutrient delivery and environmental measurement are useful only when they serve actual plant needs. That makes biology an essential part of designing an effective growing system, not an unrelated specialty.
A lasting interest in research.
My earlier academic work included biological laboratory exercises and investigations involving microorganisms and plastic-digesting insect larvae. These experiences strengthened an interest in experiments that combine careful observation with practical questions.
I continue to approach emerging genetic technologies with curiosity while separating established results from speculative possibilities.
