About

At 19, I launched my second profitable business fully bootstrapped, investing all my military savings into Upcycler Studios, a venture focused on used and upcycled garments. In 2025, we landed a feature article on Vogue, acquired our own brick and mortar store, and hit 6 figures ARR. My passion for building ambitious projects eventually led me toward technology. After grinding 6 different internship roles (SWE, AI, Testing) in big tech (TikTok, Ant Group) and startups alike, I am now headed to San Francisco in August 2026 to learn from the best.
