About
Me

By blending entrepreneurship with quantitative analysis, I have developed expertise in finance, data science, and technology. In my role as a Financial Analyst at Donate Equity, I lead market research and competitor analysis to surface key trends and validate our business model, then turn those insights into clear pitch decks and cash-flow forecasts that drive pre-seed fundraising and strategic planning. Other experiences include developing a patented geolocation application for the fleet managaers during my project with Caterpillar Inc., creating a satellite collision-avoidance tool at Viasat, and conducting financial modeling and dashboard development during my internship at Zebra Technologies.

I have contributed to quantum information theory research at Purdue specifically in Untanglement Theorem in Positive Mapping and Farkas Lemma. As an academic mentor, I helped over 50 student-athletes excel in accounting, finance, and statistics. My leadership experience includes founding Purdue’s first student-led venture capital club, where I organized pitch events that connected student startups with active VCs, facilitated mentorship sessions, and built an early-stage investor network and managing a nonprofit organization, driving a 70% increase in sales through optimized financial strategies. I am passionate about using my technical expertise and analytical skills to drive impactful solutions.

Interested in working together?

You can trust your project in my expert hands. I’m always eager to do something nice and complicated. Let’s discuss all the features in a private conversation.
