I'm a student at NYU Tandon studying Business and Technology Management, focused on where software meets real business impact. My sharpest work happens when I'm building — turning a problem into something people actually use.

Currently, I lead the startup team at the Stern Entrepreneurial Exchange Group, guiding a 9-student cohort through a 10-week accelerator focused on lean methodology, MVP design, and core business metrics. Parallel to this, I am building and scaling my consumer app, Ring Work—an iOS application I developed that uses computer vision and pose estimation to transform an iPhone into an AI boxing coach, bringing interactive, high-level training to boxers of all skill levels across the globe.
