Thanks for stopping by! I'm a current student at Vanderbilt University set to graduate in May of 2026! Through Vanderbilt's accelerated master's program I am currently pursuing both an M.Sc and B.Sc in Computer Science alongside minors in Business and Data Science. I am particularly interested in the intersection of AI/ML and the product management lifecycle. Developments in LLM's and other AI models have the potential to significantly improve market analysis, product development, and continuous post-launch improvements. Feel free to reach out via any of the above methods!
