About Me

Building at the intersection of AI, engineering, and real-world impact

The Journey

I'm a full-stack engineer who ships research-aware AI into real products—SDKs, iOS apps, and dashboards. Currently, I'm Co-Founder of ProfitWise, an AI finance copilot helping small businesses automate bookkeeping and unlock financial insights.

Before ProfitWise, I built NutriLens AR and Aerolic—demonstrating my ability to ship fast, integrate cutting-edge AI, and solve real-world problems across healthcare, finance, and consumer tech.

Recent Wins

My recent highlight: winning HackMIT 2025 (Infosys Sustainability Track) with EcoAI, a system that cuts AI's carbon footprint by 20-40% without sacrificing quality. I've competed in 10+ hackathons, consistently placing in top positions.

I'm an incoming sophomore at Georgia State University and a hands-on builder across the full stack: Python/TensorFlow → Flask/Node → Swift/React.
