Week 1 - Class Introduction

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog for IEOR 190G - I will be using this website to post all the class assignments and links to my YouTube videos. Here's a quick introduction about myself :)

My name is Payal, and I am a junior at UC Berkeley studying Business Administration with a concentration in Engineering Leadership. I was originally born in England, but have lived all across the United States, and currently reside in sunny Los Angeles. After working at Amazon my sophomore year, I have been extremely interested in technology since that internship, and have always been interested in the methods that new technologies are created, developed, and then patented. Given the intensely face-paced nature of tech, I am really looking forward to learning the nitty-gritty of the patent space, and diving deeper into the terminology in particular. I regularly read TechCrunch and the Wall Street Journal, and love to follow the "patent wars" that the tech giants of our generation are always involved in. Patents play a huge part in which products and companies "win" over customers, and I believe learning about them is critical to understanding the core competencies of the company.

I hope this class will build upon the past business and engineering courses I have taken, and am looking forward to diving deeper into the world of patents. I'd love to connect with any classmates on LinkedIn.
