About

I prefer building over talking.

I'm a Computer Science junior at Georgia State University working at the intersection of AI, cloud, and enterprise systems. I help operate GSU's research HPC cluster with the ARCTIC team, ship products with student startup programs, and care most about turning messy real-world workflows into systems people actually want to use. I move fast, learn faster, and prefer building over talking.

I'm drawn to problems that sit at the boundary of software and infrastructure — the messy seam where the system breaks under real usage. That's where I do my best work.

When I'm not building, I'm at the gym, watching cricket, or tearing apart hardware to see how it works.

Builder Programs

Inside the startup ecosystem.

Programs that pushed my ideas through customer discovery, mentorship, and demo milestones — the kind of pressure that turns sketches into products.
