MS in Information Management '26 | Consultant @ Business Intelligence Group (UIUC) | Data Enthusiast | Builder Mindset | Open to Summer '25 Internships
I'm a data-driven professional who believes in building things that matter.
Currently pursuing my Master's at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Iโm exploring the beautiful intersections of Business Analytics, Data Engineering, and Consulting.
My journey so far has been about learning fast, building in public, and helping others level up โ whether itโs designing AI-powered tools, leading tech communities, or architecting smarter data solutions.
I like my data structured, my pipelines lean, and my dashboards sharp.
๐ Mission: Solve real problems, share what I learn, and grow with the community.
