✦ About

Operating at the nexus of engineering, design & business.

I'm a sophomore studying Computer Engineering & Computer Science at USC and a Master's candidate in Integrated Design, Business & Technology — aspiring towards product leadership in rapid-growth environments. I align cross-functional teams to translate complex technical systems into intuitive, revenue-generating products. Driven by both scale and substance — building technology that resonates with users while meaningfully expanding access and representation.
