I'm currently a sophomore student at the University of Pennsylvania's M&T program, studying CMPE and Finance. I'm particularly interested in spaces like fintech, cybersecurity, AI, and web3. You can see some of the projects I've worked on and companies I've built in those spaces in a bit.
I enjoy working with tech and computers, on the market side as well.
Built a full-stack implementation of user insights analytics and associated UI using Google Cloud Run, Firestore, and React Native. Created a custom testing suite for the Shades.news backend endpoints using Jest.
Created an AI-native meeting copilot that automates the process of scheduling, organizing, and managing meetings. Led a team of 4 to operate the start-up, currently in talks with pre-seed investors for funding.
Led transition from Airtable to PostgreSQL and implemented graphical CMS. Integrated new API endpoints using custom scripts from HaveIBeenPwned and PeeringDB. Enhanced the use of generative AI to analyze specific privacy policies.
Developed a full-stack cybersecurity dashboard for a small business client using React, Node.js, and MongoDB. Engaged in cybersecurity research and analysis, including the creation of a weekly cybersecurity newsletter.
