Bio

I’ve always been drawn to the question “How do new things get built?” After reading Leonardo Da Vinci’s biography as a freshman, I decided that the best inventions are created by people who work across multiple disciplines. If you notice that my experiences seem somewhat unrelated, it is Da Vinci's fault!

University of Utah

In college, I studied Finance to understand how businesses work and Information Systems to learn how to build with the modern tech stack. My education taught me how money, data, and software flow through businesses.

On campus I competed in VC case competitions, interned at two Series A startups and an investment fund, and I founded a 200-member investment club to help students learn to invest early.

The club's Discord community exchanged analysis on markets and economic events.

Technology Consulting at Riveron

I went into consulting to get rapid exposure to different operating scenarios and build skills quickly.

As a consultant, I implemented ERPs (mostly NetSuite) for mid-market firms: conducted on-site interviews to map processes, configured ERP environments to match operational needs, and delivered UAT sessions with step-by-step documentation for post-go-live self-sufficiency.

I also built ARR Snowball and general operations dashboards for clients, performing end-to-end ETL flows (SQL, Alteryx) and passing them through to Power BI—helping clients improve ARR-reporting accuracy by 20%.

For both types of engageemnts, I worked in PowerPoint and Excel a lot.

Rotating across industries showed me the patterns that separate smooth internal ops from chaotic ones.

Live-Entertainment Entrepreneurship

Craving more ownership, I co-founded Haha Productions in Austin, TX. I turned a 100-person backyard comedy show into monthly shows at professional venues including an 800-person flagship show. I led social-media strategy that earned 5M+ views and thousands of followers. My role spans talent procurement, backoffice operations, social media management, and handled end-to-end tasks.

It has been deeply rewarding to get familiar with the comedy scene in Austin and build something of my own.

Building a software product from scratch

MapGP is a passion project. I've always been interested in history, so I chose to build a website that makes learning about it as enjoyable as possible.


[ADD MAPGP IMAGE HERE!!!!]

So far I have learned how to:
  • Buy a domain
  • Use an IDE (VS Code)
  • Write code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Use Git and GitHub for version control
  • Deploy to a cloud server (Vercel)
  • Integrate LLMs via the ChatGPT API
  • Test API endpoints with Postman
  • Connect frontend + backend with Node.js & Express
  • Attach a database (MongoDB)
  • Automate database population
  • Embed an LLM in workflows using MCP to create novel tech (e.g., generate maps by scanning text)
  • ... much more



The MVP is live and gathering feedback from educators and hobbyists.

What I’m After Next

I’m looking for a role where I can own a product front-to-back: grasp the codebase, know the unit economics, talk to customers weekly, and turn those insights into roadmap wins.

I want to keep sharpening my customer-facing skills while deepening my technical fluency—because the better I understand both, the faster I can build products that simplify complexity and spark genuine joy.
