I my career started as a builder. I have founded companies and taken products to users. That experience shaped how I think about technology. Most systems do not fail at the model level but rather at adoption stage. The friction shows up when technology meets institutions, users, and real constraints. During the pandemic, I worked on tools for real-time crises. It made one thing clear. Policy, usability, and infrastructure matter as much as the system itself. I moved into roles focused on deployment and strategy. My work has included identifying risks in implementation, supporting teams on system design decisions, and contributing to policy discussions around emerging technology. I am currently pursuing an MBA at George Washington University. I am focused on roles at the intersection of technology, policy, and strategy, particularly where implementation and regulation meet. My interest lies in work that aligns impact in technical systems with institutional realities.
