About

I’m a Product Quality Manager at Apple, where I work at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and execution to deliver reliable, high-quality products at scale. My experience spans end to end product quality starting from development and supplier readiness to mass production and continuous improvement In parallel, I’m the co-founder of 108Journeys, a mindful travel and retreat company curating immersive yoga, meditation, and spiritual journeys rooted in cultural heritage and conscious exploration. Across both roles, I’m motivated by the same principles: building thoughtful systems, maintaining high standards, and creating experiences that people trust—whether that’s a consumer product used by millions or a journey that impacts lives in a more personal way.
