About

I’m the kind of person who can’t resist diving deep into things whether it’s understanding how businesses really work, reading about disruptive startups, or figuring out how to fix a broken revenue process. After spending over 2 years at EY in the Finance Transformation team, I helped untangle stuck revenue with vendors by implementing an Order to Cash tool. It was rewarding, but I’m now on the hunt for something new, exciting, and challenging. Before EY, I co-founded FundingX in college, where we helped early-stage startups get investor-ready and raised angel investments across sectors like drones, solar, agritech, and even space tech. While my startup didn’t scale, the experience was priceless. When I’m not geeking out over business models or case studies, you’ll find me reading books, playing badminton, or swimming (yes, I’m that person who actually enjoys laps). Currently working on Defense Tech systems. Open to connect with people with similar interests.
