Born and raised in Tirana, Ori attended Bioengineering studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he graduated with High honors. Suddenly in Silicon Valley, Ori, while working on his passion for studying and doing research in bioengineering, he also received an extensive exposure to entrepreneurship and his mentality raised questions about the status quo. After graduation Ori went through some work experiences, in big corporations like Genentech and Illumina, or even in startups like Protein Fluidics. Already "on leave of absence" from the elite Leaders for Global Operations program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ori is pursuing a series of projects in Tirana to enable the building of a bridge of knowledge and exchanges between two localities that have outlined his life: Silicon Valley and Tirana.
