About

I am a recent Computer Science graduate with a minor in Applied Mathematics from NYU Abu Dhabi, passionate about applying data-driven insights and strategic thinking to solve complex business and policy challenges. My background combines technical expertise with strong analytical and communication skills, enabling me to bridge the gap between technology and decision-making. Having led initiatives and collaborated across diverse teams, I thrive in environments that require problem-solving, adaptability, and cross-cultural understanding. I am particularly interested in consulting roles that sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and impact, helping organizations navigate uncertainty, improve performance, and drive sustainable change. Outside of work, I enjoy sports analysis, cricket, FIFA, and exploring theoretical physics, which continually sharpen my curiosity, discipline, and ability to approach problems from multiple perspectives.
