Building with purpose

I'm a Computer Science & Economics student at Rutgers (Data Science minor, 3.9 GPA) currently in Redmond as an Explore SWE/PM Intern at Microsoft, building AI-powered tooling on the Microsoft 365 Core team. My mission is simple: leverage technology, data, and empathy to build products that genuinely improve people's lives.

I live at the intersection of software, product, and finance — from shipping an AI copilot at Microsoft, to leading the technology roadmap at a global nonprofit, to winning hackathons with ML-driven fintech tools. I'm a Break Through Tech AI Fellow at Cornell Tech and an alum of selective programs at Goldman Sachs, Capital One, BCG, Bain, Oracle, PayPal, and Vanguard.

Beyond work, you'll find me watching F1, exploring new cuisines, mountain biking, and chasing bucket-list adventures — Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp, and the Camino de Santiago are all on the list.
