Just graduated from pharm school but self-taught in tech

- Digital Marketing (To grow my start up. Realized I need to know how to sell rather than just build)

- Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (I find it very fascinating to try and uncover how life works)

- Math (Feel like I didn't really get a hang of math early on but now realize how important and fun it can be. Currently reading A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics)

- Machine learning & AI (Huge potential in drug discovery)

- Computer Aided Drug Discovery (Did a dissertation on this and loved it)

- Deep dive into Genomics and Genetic Engineering (I find genetics to be very similar to coding)

- Aging and Longevity research (I'm 25 but still see aging as a disease ever since I turned 18. It's why I chose to do a medical related undergraduate course. Hopefully we can better understand how aging works, and how to stop/delay it)

- C, C++, Python and R (For writing bioinformatics tools)

- Computer graphics and game development (This is a bit of a stretch. Hopefully I can manage. I find graphics and game programming to be one of coolest uses of math. Seeing stuff I used to dread like trigonometry actually being of use gives me a reason to learn them)

- Playing an instrument, maybe guitar and getting good at FL Studio (Music is fun)

- How stocks work (Trying my luck at financial independence plus the regards of WSB intrigue me)
