Portfolio

Advancing cardiology research with entrepreneurial drive.

I’m Aiden Yue, a Boston University biology student and founder dedicated to improving healthcare through scientific innovation while scaling design-forward e-commerce ventures. Before turning 18, I guided Asynq Designs past a quarter-million dollars in revenue—proof that design rigor and community empathy can grow into world-class outcomes.

About

Sophomore biology student on the pre-med track at Boston University with a passion for cardiology research and translational medicine. I thrive at the intersection of science and entrepreneurship—pairing lab experience investigating nicotine’s effects on cardiovascular disease with ventures that deliver thoughtful, design-led products to a global audience.

From collaborating with renowned cardiologist Dr. Robert Kloner at Huntington Medical Research Institutes to leading six-figure e-commerce operations, I bring a data-driven, people-first mindset to every project. After completing 50 units with a 3.9 GPA and Dean’s List honors at UC Riverside, I transferred to BU to pursue broader pre-med opportunities. Guiding Asynq Designs from concept to $250K+ revenue before my 18th birthday taught me how disciplined design systems and compassionate leadership translate into measurable results. I’m actively seeking research assistant roles where I can contribute rigorous analysis, operational excellence, and community-centered leadership to the future of healthcare.
