Since sixth grade, I’ve challenged the limits placed on me. Whether it was reselling fidget spinners in middle school or manufacturing custom iPhone cases in high school, I’ve always built things—brands, projects, communities—without waiting for permission or precedent.

By the time I reached university, I had already launched four clothing brands. The latest one isn’t about hype or margins—it’s about building identity and community through design. That same community-first mindset drove me to start Meraki Run Club, now attracting 60–70 weekly runners, and Buzz Book Club, where 30–40 people gather to share ideas across genres. These aren’t just clubs—they’re safe, inclusive spaces I built from scratch.

As a research assistant at the Structures and AI Lab, I co-developed TwInfra, an AI system that slashed infrastructure corrosion detection time from days to minutes. We blended deep learning, 3D modeling, and software engineering to deliver real-world impact. That project—and others like my skin cancer detection app—taught me how to turn technical skills into meaningful solutions.

In 2024, I co-founded a software contracting company with two friends. We gave ourselves six months. It didn't last—but it was worth it. I’m proud of that attempt because I’ve never been afraid to try. Trying is what defines me.

Now, I'm applying that same attitude to something bigger: building software that actually improves people's lives measurably. I'd like to bring my background in AI, design, and community development to bear in order to build products that empower users, unlock opportunities, and solve real problems at scale. I want to build products that increase access, protect privacy, and allow people to have more agency—whether that's through seamless user experiences, rock-solid infrastructure, or mindful applications of machine learning.

I'm looking for employment with organizations that value impact over hype—groups that ship things that matter. I don't maximize for clout or short-term returns; I maximize for shipping things that make people freer, safer, and more capable. If that describes your work, I'd like to be a part of it.
