About

I prefer building over talking.

I'm a Computer Science junior at Georgia State University interested in AI, cloud, enterprise systems, and workflow automation.

I currently support GSU's ARCTIC High Performance Computing team, helping researchers troubleshoot issues, run jobs, document workflows, and work with shared research infrastructure. I'm also joining Mercedes-Benz USA as an SAP & Innovation intern, where I'll be working with enterprise systems, AI-driven workflows, and large-scale business technology.

I'm also working on an early-stage startup called Stockd, an AI-powered restaurant operations platform focused on inventory management, forecasting, and smarter decision-making for food businesses. That project has pushed me to think more deeply about how software can turn messy operational problems into tools people actually want to use.

I'm drawn to problems where software meets real operations -- messy workflows, manual processes, unclear systems, and places where better tools can make work easier. Whether through hackathons, startup projects, or infrastructure work, I enjoy building practical systems that solve real problems.

Outside of tech, I'm usually at the gym, watching cricket, gaming, or exploring hardware and new technologies.

I move fast, learn quickly, and prefer building over talking.

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.

Georgia Tech · Summer 2026 Cohort

Now

Building Stockd inside Georgia Tech’s CreateX Summer cohort — taking what started as a hackathon project and pushing it toward real customer discovery, sharper product decisions, and a path to actual users.

Spring Batch · Spring 2026

Completed

Completed the Genesis Spring batch — a hands-on startup track where we learned how to test ideas, fail fast, listen to feedback, and keep iterating instead of falling in love with the first version. That process helped turn Stockd from a hackathon project into an early-stage startup we’re continuing to build.
