Bio
I’m an MIT graduate and software developer with experience at McKinsey & Company, startups, and large enterprises. I combine technical expertise with business strategy to turn ideas into products.
I’m passionate about education equity and believe technology should expand opportunity, not concentrate it. I’m a Prosci Change Management Advanced Instructor and work with teams on organizational transformation.
Outside of work, I travel frequently, exploring food and literature from different cultures. I practice Kathak, a classical Indian dance form. I live in Boston with my partner and four children.
