Tweetables:

  • “One of the things that had really driven me into medicine was just the health disparities, knowing that for reasons beyond a person’s control, that they were going to have worse health outcomes. I wanted to be that person that would try to make a difference. That’s what I’m trying to do with technology.” — @aminafoon [0:01:53]
  • “The fact that I was able to get up and running in one weekend is just a testament of how quickly you can get a project started and going in Vue.” — @aminafoon [0:22:27]
