“The way that I always thought about it before I transitioned out of medicine and into computer science was that the scale of impact that I could potentially make with computer science is just much larger,” Tehrani said. “As a doctor, maybe I could save 100 lives, (but) with computer science, potentially, I can make a product or do something that could save millions of lives, or, impact millions of lives.”
