Took some time off where I experimented with this thing called life — building, failing, learning, and figuring out what matters. Now I'm back at Brown, clear-headed and driven.

About Me

I've worked across logistics, investing, and AI. I've launched products, led teams, built pricing models, and sat in rooms with people who move billions.

I love people who have extreme goals — goals that aim to change the world. That's the space I want to be in. I want to reach the best version of myself, and I know that version requires stress, pressure, and real challenge.

🦾 Give me something hard — that’s where I thrive.

Work Experience

From seeing how capital gets deployed at Brown’s endowment to working hands-on in startups—building real products, shipping features, and driving revenue—I’ve gained a front-row view into how things get built and scaled.
