I'm a Data Science student at San Jose State, and most of what I've learned has come from building inside startups. I like taking things from 0 to 1, especially in fast-moving environments where the problem is still unclear and the answer has to be found by building, talking to users, and iterating quickly.
My strongest work has been on products built end to end in close partnership with GTM and sales teams. I've worked across full-stack development, DevOps, and applied AI, but the common thread is always the same: understand the business problem first, then build something useful that helps people move faster.
A couple of years ago, I built Prophecy alongside my best friend as a project: an agent trained on company knowledge to automate work that depends on internal context. We sold it to 3 enterprise customers, reached $10k+ ARR in 5 months by staying close to our users and iterating on feedback quickly.
