About Me

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm a Product Manager, currently working for Octane, a late stage fintech startup in New York City. I earned my degree in Computer Engineering from Rutgers University Honors College in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I thrive in challenging environments and enjoy engaging with complex issues through problem solving. My goal is to positively impact society with innovative technological solutions for problems big and small.

Outside of work you can find me traveling, practicing my photography, working out, cooking, and listening to new music and podcasts through it all.
