Profile: https://flows.cv/andrewqtran

Currently at Meta Reality Labs leading AI design and product strategy for health and wellness on wearables. I also help startups take products from zero to one — from the petri dish to the metaverse. 

I’m a product and design leader with 20 years of experience building health, AI, hardware, and VR products — from early-stage startups to global platforms used by over 3 billion people. I turn complex ideas into simple, meaningful solutions that improve lives.I co-founded Aster, a women’s health startup, where I led product, design, and engineering to bring our vision to life. Before that, I worked on health and wellness experiences at Meta and a number of health startups, shipped products at scale, and built tools that help people form healthier habits.I’m also a published biomedical researcher and medical illustrator. That background helps me make sense of complex systems and translate them into clear, actionable solutions. 

As a self-taught designer and developer, I know what it takes to build from scratch — and how to scale what works. Today, I partner with startups shaping the future of health, AI, and human-centered technology to define strategy, strengthen design, and launch category-defining products.
