Back Story
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from St. John’s University in New York City, where I built a strong technical foundation in systems, logic, and problem-solving. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University, further deepening my focus on data, AI, and scalable technology. My professional experience centers on building and securing internal infrastructure. At ALKNZ Ventures, where I serve as Head of Research & Data Infrastructure, I design and maintain internal platforms, data systems, and portals that support scale and operational efficiency. My work focuses on ensuring data is secure, well-structured, and accessible, enabling teams to make informed decisions and operate sustainably. This blend of technical training and infrastructure-focused work has shaped how I approach systems—prioritizing clarity, security, and long-term thinking in everything I build.
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
I am drawn to work that emphasizes strong foundations and thoughtful execution. I value environments where data integrity, structure, and long-term vision guide decision-making. I believe well-designed infrastructure is essential to sustainable growth, and I focus on building systems that support consistency, reliability, and scale. I am particularly interested in solutions that simplify complexity while creating lasting operational impact.
