Cornell M.Eng grad who builds AI-driven products and takes ideas from zero to one. Most recently took DeTICKtor from hackathon win to hardware accelerator, and drove growth at Partum Care Now.
Get in touchMy friend's dog Simba got a tick-borne illness that went undetected for weeks. Vets told us early detection could have prevented it. So at Cornell's Animal Health Hackathon, we built a device that uses computer vision to detect ticks on pets — and won "Most Novel & Innovative Solution." We formalized as an LLC, completed Rev Ithaca's Hardware Accelerator, and developed a working prototype validated by pet owners and veterinarians. The project is currently paused after reaching its prototype milestone while the team explores the right path to market.
Postpartum care in the U.S. is fragmented — new mothers are discharged quickly with little ongoing support, and most don't know what resources exist. I joined Partum Care Now to help bridge that gap. I led outreach to 50+ healthcare providers, ran qualitative research to understand what mothers and clinicians actually needed, and used those insights to shape the go-to-market strategy and product positioning.
Mumbai produces thousands of tons of food waste daily while millions go hungry — a paradox I wrote about on Substack and couldn't stop thinking about. Sufra is a food redistribution app that connects donors (restaurants, caterers, event venues) with nearby NGOs through an intelligent matching algorithm. I designed and built the full system: a NestJS backend with geolocation-based matching, a React Native mobile app for donors and volunteers, and an operational pipeline that tracks food from pickup to delivery.
I'd love to talk about product opportunities, interesting problems, or just say hi.
