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 mindset to something even bigger: law. Specifically, I’m pursuing law to advocate for human rights and freedom for all, using my background in technology and community building to support underserved populations. My goal is to protect civil liberties, expand access to resources, and empower marginalized communities—whether through policy, advocacy, or direct action.

I’m currently seeking opportunities at organizations aligned with this mission—whether legal, nonprofit, or tech-driven. I don’t optimize for profit; I optimize for impact. If your work aims to make people freer, safer, or more empowered, I want in.
