"To actually develop one of these products it requires massive collaboration."

"It's a hybrid role. The hardware aspect is kind of rigid; you can't just release as much. The hardware aspect's planning starts maybe years before."

"So you cannot survive in this role without domain knowledge."

"It's physics, Material Science, Hardware engineering, and Software engineering all together. It's fascinating!"

"a key aspect of product management is understanding what the market needs are, trying to fit your thought into the market"

"The human impact is huge."

"The most successful people I've seen have either been scientists or survivors."

"It's a very niche role; you pretty much stumble on it."

"Follow your passions as long as they're practical."

"You want to just be a sponge in general in life."

"Being an immigrant has been the single largest factor in all of my career decisions in the US."
