Background

About

I'm a Business Information Systems student at Oregon State with specializations in Information Systems Management and Networking (practicum), and minors in Applied AI in Business and Economics.

Before OSU, I ran an independent resale operation from 2019-2023 - hundreds of transactions across vehicles, powersports, and consumer goods - building real intuition for pricing, logistics, and working capital before I ever sat in a classroom for it.

Long term, I want to build scalable data systems that leverage an organization's data needs improving outcomes and decisions. Physical products like SetSafe are an example of my desire to find a real problem and build something that actually provides value to people.
