About Me

Builder at heart.
Strategist by mind.

I'm a Computer Science + Marketing student at UMN Twin Cities (Dec 2027), building real AI products that solve actual problems — not just prototypes sitting in a GitHub repo.

From supervising 40+ associates at Amazon to winning global hackathons at Google Cloud and AIIS, I bring sharp technical depth and magnetic product instincts to everything I touch. I build things that are fast, beautiful, and purposeful.

Hand-selected for the Kohl's 2026 Emerging Talent Summit, Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Summit, and Best Buy Inclusion Summit — chosen as 1 of 150 students nationwide from a competitive national pool.
