Hi! ππΎ

I'm Tobi.
π¨π»βπ I'm a Biomedical Engineering PhD candidate at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIChicago).
π I live in the intersection of healthcare, tech and big questions.
π I'm into non-linear opportunities, things that don't make sense at first but end up changing everything.
π I think in patterns, build across disciplines, and love connecting with people who see the world differently.
