About

Curious enough to explore. Disciplined enough to finish.

I study Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Texas at Dallas after beginning at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business in Entrepreneurship and Corporate Innovation. That combination still shapes how I work: understand the system, understand the person inside it, then build something useful.

People close to me describe my best work as clearing obstacles, building confidence, and creating the conditions for a group to succeed. I am outgoing by nature, rigorous by choice, and happiest in the messy middle between an idea and a result.

Outside work

Racing, travel, DJing, cooking, coffee shops, journaling, and basketball. I like places and practices that reward attention.

Recognition

Eagle Scout, Dean's Scholar, Dean's List at IU and UTD, TIE Scholar Award, and Phi Gamma Nu Entrepreneurship Award.

Languages

English, Hindi, French, and Tamil.

Contact

The best conversations start with a hard problem.

I am always interested in thoughtful work across product, strategy, applied AI, solutions, and operations.
