Most people call me Neo.
I chose biotechnology because it is the rare field where curiosity has consequences. A microbe can clean a river. A cell line can save a life. Something a farm throws away can become a product someone reaches for.
I grew up in international schools, between languages and between ways of seeing things, and that taught me to listen first and translate: between Thai and English, between a lab bench and a business case, between what is technically true and what a person can actually use.
What I love most is the moment an idea leaves the lab and becomes something you can hold. I graduated with First Class Honours, but the part I am proud of is simpler: I still want to know how everything works, and I still believe the answer is worth building.
