I build AI & data products | Apprentice Decision Scientist @ Mu Sigma | Managing Partner, GVB Tech | Startup mentor @ DAISE | Christ University ’27

About

I'm still a student, and I've already built software for RF test labs, trained a cancer detection model, written product specs for AI startups, and started my own company. I keep picking problems that look too messy for someone my age. So far, that's worked out. By day, I'm an Apprentice Decision Scientist at Mu Sigma on the Chevron account, building a platform that helps teams catch anomalies faster instead of waiting on the one person who knows where the data lives. By night, I run GVB Tech Solutions, where we build automated tools, apps and dashboards for clients. My first project was a clinic management tool for a dental practice, and it taught me what no classroom did: users don't care how clever your code is, only whether it saves them time. The projects I'm proudest of: → RangeReady: one interface to control lab instruments for RF testing → CerviSense-AI: a deep learning model for cervical cancer detection, where my work on the fusion architecture contributed to a patent → WeaveCore: a desktop app that automates loom design I also lead Startup Nurturing at DAISE and co-lead the Sociopreneurs vertical at Udhyam, which means I spend a lot of time helping founders get from "I have an idea" to "I have a customer." It's my favourite part of the week. If you're hiring for decision science, product or applied AI, or building something real and want a second brain on it, message me.
