I grew up mostly in Dallas, with about three years of elementary school spent in
Nice, France — which, looking back, is probably where my love of travel and new
places started. Growing up, I was always playing something: basketball, football,
soccer, whatever was in season. I also played French horn all the way through high
school. Not the combination most people expect, but I genuinely enjoyed both.
At UT Austin, I studied International Relations with a business minor through
McCombs. One of the biggest parts of my college experience was being on a South
Asian dance team — we performed at campus events and competed across the country.
Beyond being a lot of fun, it taught me about teamwork, discipline, and what it
takes for a group of people to work toward the same goal under pressure.
After graduation, I started my career at Oracle, where I spent almost four years
leading NetSuite ERP implementations — working with customers from kickoff all the
way through go-live, helping them navigate what was usually a significant
transformation for their business. More recently, I joined Stampli as a Customer
Success Manager, where I partner with SMB and mid-market finance teams to automate
their accounts payable processes and get the most value out of the platform.
Outside of work, travel is probably my biggest hobby — I'm usually planning the
next trip or just getting back from one. The past couple of years have taken me to
New York, Seattle, Paris, Budapest, London, San Diego, and Orlando. I love the
major sights, but I enjoy the slower moments just as much: finding a great coffee
shop, wandering through neighborhoods, or trying whatever local restaurant someone
recommends.
Lately, I've gotten really interested in AI. What started as simple curiosity has
turned into actually building things — every project on this site began as an idea
and became something functional through a lot of experimenting, problem solving,
and collaborating with AI tools. That's been a pretty consistent theme throughout
my life: I enjoy learning by doing, figuring things out as I go, and finding
opportunities to build something useful along the way.
