My Bio
About
Electrical engineering student at the University of Maryland, focused on autonomous systems, machine intelligence, and the category of problems where hardware and software have to work together to do something neither could manage alone.
My work spans engineering systems built for environments where efficiency and reliability matter most. Where organizational and technical problems collide, I lead my teams to world championships and build operations from scratch: securing six-figure funding, writing the documentation that won national awards, and bridging a gap between engineering precision and strategic narrative that most people don't try to close. Being technically fluent and organizationally capable at the same time is something I've deliberately built, and I consider it as important as anything I've written in code or CAD.
I am passionate about expanding access to healthcare, education, and opportunity. I support organizations working in global health and education, from my local communities to across other continents. What we build carries an obligation and an impact that I pray will extend beyond my time.

Business and Operations Lead
Terps Racing
As Business and Operations Lead for Terps Racing, the University of Maryland’s Formula SAE program, I manage the operational and strategic infrastructure of a multidisciplinary student engineering team that designs, builds, and competes with high-performance race cars each year. My role bridges engineering development with the business and organizational systems required to run a competitive motorsports program. I oversee financial planning, procurement logistics, sponsor partnerships, and operational strategy that support the full lifecycle of vehicle development from concept design to national competition. A key part of my work involves applying data science and performance analytics to engineering decision-making. I collaborate with subsystem teams to evaluate potential sub-assembly designs and component selections using simulation outputs, historical performance data, and engineering models. By analyzing tradeoffs between weight, reliability, manufacturability, and cost, we determine the optimal components and architectures for systems such as suspension, drivetrain, and structural assemblies. Operationally, I coordinate procurement pipelines, parts ordering, inventory tracking, and manufacturing logistics while helping manage an annual operating budget of approximately $75,000–$100,000. I also work closely with corporate partners and suppliers to secure funding and technical support through sponsorship proposals, presentations, and long-term partnership development. In addition, I lead cross-functional teams responsible for marketing, social media, merchandise design, and brand outreach, while organizing recruitment initiatives, engineering demonstrations, and campus events through collaboration with departments across the University of Maryland (i.e. mech. eng., EE, and CS) I connect engineering innovation with strategic operations, enabling our team to operate with the professionalism of a competitive engineering organization.
Business Development Strategy and AI Research Intern
Basys.ai
At Basys.ai, I work at the intersection of AI, healthcare automation, and ethical AI deployment, developing machine learning models that improve prior authorization workflows and clinical decision-making. My focus has been on building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, implementing vector embedding workflows, and optimizing data retrieval systems to reduce processing inefficiencies and AI hallucinations in healthcare automation. My RAG project involved structuring and embedding complex medical policy documents, enabling efficient retrieval of relevant guidelines to assist in automated prior authorization decisions. I developed custom tokenization methods, fine-tuned embedding models, and engineered adaptive retrieval strategies to ensure high-precision responses while minimizing AI misinterpretations and hallucinations. This work directly contributed to experimenting in improving system accuracy, reducing processing time, and enhancing regulatory compliance in AI-driven healthcare applications. Beyond development, I’ve contributed to AI governance and ethics research, authoring articles on AI guardrails, bias mitigation, and fairness in clinical decision-making. My writing includes topics such as reinforcement learning safety, bias reduction in automated healthcare approvals, and AI alignment frameworks for ethical deployment. These articles explore how flawed AI models can reinforce disparities in patient care and propose strategies for building transparent, accountable automation systems.
Assistant Project Coordinator and Data Analyst
Peabody Health Philanthropies
At Peabody Health Philanthropies (PHP), I focus on data-driven healthcare improvements in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by analyzing clinical data, identifying inefficiencies, and optimizing quality-of-care standards. My work spans Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Malawi, where I collaborate with clinicians, hospital administrators, and policymakers to develop evidencebased strategies that enhance patient care and operational efficiency. A key aspect of my role has been evaluating the EQIS (E-Patient Quality Improvement and Standardization) platform, which integrates AI and data analytics to assess and improve clinical workflows.
Automotive Mechanic
Columbia Auto Collision Center
As an automotive mechanic at Columbia Auto Collision Center, I perform diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance on a wide range of vehicles, with a focus on collision repair and restoration. My responsibilities include assessing vehicle damage, estimating repair costs, and executing mechanical and bodywork repairs to restore vehicles to their pre-accident condition. I utilize diagnostic tools and software to identify mechanical issues, perform engine repairs, brake system maintenance, suspension work, and electrical system troubleshooting. Additionally, I collaborate with insurance adjusters, parts suppliers, and customers to ensure efficient repair processes and high-quality service delivery.
Business Development
Med2Lab Inc.
I had previously learned about public health data analysis and preventative care in developing countries during my time with Professor Saifuddin Ahmed at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, and that experience helped me see the application of Med2Lab’s product. Under-resourced countries like Bangladesh lack the medical expertise to train sufficient numbers of physicians, and Med2Lab’s platform was exactly the solution needed. Originally, I was on-boarded as an intern: I researched fundraising platforms, performed literature reviews, and managed the company’s social media. Through my research, I soon began showcasing the commercial opportunities for Med2Lab outside of academia. From applications in outpatient clinics for upholding medical standards, to training phlebotomists for accurate data collection, to preparing doctors for reviewing risk adjustment factors, I dedicated my time to finding new ways to market our product. As the team was primarily composed of medical doctors and PhDs, their expertise mainly resided with the content side of our platform– keeping the teaching material and interface up to medical standards. In my first few weeks, I brought in my connections from Johns Hopkins and RELI Group Inc. to legitimize the feasibility of the plans I had drawn up for Med2Lab. I was then made the lead of business development, working closely with the C-suite. I manage my own team to establish a new business model, create contracts with companies seeking solutions for medical training, present pitches to investors and research grants, and support our presentations at international medical conferences including the International Medical Exhibition and Conference (IMEC) in Singapore, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) around the US, Arab Health in Dubai, and more.
