About Me
Senior in Information Technology & Systems at the Naveen Jindal School of Management, UT Dallas — focused on AI, cloud systems, and human-centered technology.
I’m an AES Scholar at JSOM and a Microsoft Student Ambassador at UT Dallas. Over the past five years I’ve worked across IT support, consumer technology, and digital operations — from founding a small consumer-tech business to running tier-1 systems support for a research university.
My focus is AI for education and human-centered technology. I’m especially interested in how generative systems, cloud infrastructure, and thoughtful product design can make learning more accessible and more human. I’m open to roles in AI engineering, cloud, data, and technology systems.

03Perspective
How I think about AI.
A short set of principles that guide the projects I take on.
“The most useful AI doesn’t feel futuristic — it feels helpful, fair, and clear.”
01
AI for human capability
Technology should expand what people can learn, build, and do — not replace their judgment.
02
Designed for understanding
Good systems explain themselves. Clarity is a feature, not a finishing touch.
03
Responsibility by design
Privacy, accessibility, and ethics belong in the architecture — not in the press release.
04
Education at the center
The most important place to apply AI is wherever people are trying to learn.
04Experience
Experience & Leadership
Five years across entrepreneurship, corporate IT, and university-scale systems.
