I am driven by two primary passions: using technology to tackle real-world problems and making a positive impact on the world. Combining these passions has led me on a unique journey that spans entrepreneurship, mentorship, education, music, fungi and more.

I've been tinkering with computers since childhood, eventually turning that passion into a Master's in Computer Science from Northeastern University, specializing in Machine Learning. Harvard Business School equipped me with the business acumen to turn ideas into reality.

My curiosity extends beyond the digital realm. Neuroscience and immunology sparked an interest in mycology, leading me to study mushroom production and horticulture. I also delve into the world of spirituality and meditation, finding balance and wisdom through yogic practices.

My entrepreneurial spirit has manifested in ventures across diverse sectors: technology, agriculture, education, health, finance, and sustainability. I find immense satisfaction in mentoring new entrepreneurs and helping them bring their dreams to life.

Here are some of my current projects:When I'm not engrossed in building, I find solace in nature's embrace, indulging in backpacking, hiking, and the meditative stillness of nature. I am an avid reader, writer, music producer, and a lifelong learner.
