Product Strategy & Leadership

I deliver end-to-end execution: owning the journey from the spark of a concept to market-ready reality. I start with vision-setting grounded in market research and technical feasibility, translating it into clear product roadmaps that align engineering sprints with business milestones. I’ve secured and managed millions in funding through grants, sponsorships, and strategic partnerships, ensuring the capital structure fuels long-term growth. My leadership extends beyond code: I orchestrate multi-disciplinary teams (engineers, designers, marketers, and policy experts), building cultures where innovation thrives and deadlines are met without personal compromise. I ensure every product we ship doesn’t just solve a problem, it shapes an industry.

Community & Policy Impact

I’ve built programs that move from campus to global impact—organizing hackathons, pitch competitions, and innovation accelerators in partnership with Yale School of Medicine and Rutgers University. My work empowers the next generation of builders, creating ecosystems where students don’t just learn skills—they launch startups, publish research, and drive policy conversations. I believe leadership means more than holding a seat—it means creating opportunities for others.

I don’t just learn for myself—I make it my mission to give it back.

From breaking down finance and entrepreneurship into street-smart lessons to turning engineering and tech into hands-on, approachable projects, I’ve taught youth how to think, build, and own their futures.

Persistence for me isn’t grinding in silence, it’s creating spaces where the next generation steps up as innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.
