By day I'm cabin crew at Emirates. By night I'm down a rabbit hole about AI, health-tech, or whatever DeFi protocol I'm trying to understand this week. This is my little corner of the internet.
I'm Irel, most people know me as Geodess. I'm a 27-year-old Filipina currently based in Dubai, working as cabin crew for Emirates. I chose this job because I genuinely love people. There's something magical about meeting someone from a completely different culture and finding common ground before the seatbelt sign turns off. I've served passengers from 50+ countries and honestly, every flight teaches me something new about how people work.
Before aviation, I was deep in the science world. Biochemistry degree and three years of medical school. I'm the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about how a single molecule can change everything in the human body. I decided clinical practice wasn't for me, but that curiosity? That never switched off. I'm still the girl who reads research papers for fun. I know, I know.
These days, that same brain has found new obsessions: AI, health-tech, Web3, and crypto. I fell into crypto Twitter one night and never came back. What started as casual scrolling turned into me staying up until 2am reading about DeFi protocols and watching videos about how CRISPR actually works. The intersection of science and technology is genuinely the most exciting thing happening right now and I want to understand all of it.
I'm not a developer. I'm not a founder. I'm just a curious person with a science background who can't stop learning about how technology is changing everything, especially healthcare. If that sounds like you too, we should probably be friends.
Flying international routes out of Dubai. Managing premium service for passengers from everywhere, handling anything from medical emergencies to making someone's first flight feel magical. It's intense, beautiful, and never boring.
Where it all started. 2,500+ flight hours across Southeast Asia. Learned everything about customer service, safety, teamwork, and how to stay calm when things get chaotic. Won Best Cabin Crew in my training batch, which I'm still proud of.
Three years of pharmacology, pathology, clinical diagnostics, and way too many flashcards. I loved the science but realized clinical practice wasn't my path. No regrets. It gave me a way of thinking I use every single day.
University Honors' List. Molecular biology, organic chemistry, lab work. This is where I fell in love with understanding how things work at the smallest level. Still a science nerd at heart.
Fell into crypto Twitter one night and never left. Went from "what's a wallet" to reading about tokenomics at 1am. DeFi, DAOs, on-chain governance. I find the whole idea of trustless systems kind of beautiful? Still learning, always asking dumb questions.
Watching AI evolve in real time feels like living through a sci-fi movie. I'm especially obsessed with clinical AI. The idea that an algorithm can spot cancer earlier than a human radiologist? That keeps me up at night (in a good way).
This is probably my first love. CRISPR, digital therapeutics, AI-driven drug discovery, telehealth. The intersection of medicine and technology is where I think the most important breakthroughs of our lifetime will happen. I left med school but medicine never left me.
Clinical AI is moving faster than people realize. Here's what caught my attention this month as someone who almost became a doctor.
You learn more about human behavior in one flight than most people learn in a year. Some honest observations from 3+ years in the sky.
A non-technical, non-crypto-bro honest take on decentralized finance from someone who started from absolute zero.
CRISPR, digital therapeutics, AI diagnostics. The tech side of healthcare is doing what med school always promised but never delivered.
If you're into AI, health-tech, crypto, or you just want to talk about Disney movies and Filipino food, let's connect. I'm always down to meet interesting people.
