I Transform Complex Challenges Into Elegant Solutions That Create Real Impact
About Me
Building at the Intersection of Technology and Human Impact
My Journey
My journey spans from bioengineering labs at UMD to L'Oréal's manufacturing floors, and now into the forefront of data science, product management, and generative AI. I bring a unique perspective: the precision of an engineer, the vision of a product manager, and the analytical rigor of a data scientist.
What I Do
Currently pursuing my MS in Information Systems at UMD as a Terrapin Scholar, I'm leading teams on everything from enterprise NLP platforms to blockchain logistics. I don't just build products, I architect experiences that bridge human needs with technological possibilities.
