Experience

Arvam.ai

Founder San Francisco Bay Area
Jul 2026 – Present

An AI value-creation platform for mid-market private equity. The largest sponsors — Blackstone and its peers — build their AI edge in-house; Arvam brings the same edge to the mid-market funds that can't. It reads a deal's data room and produces an evidence-graded assessment in which every figure traces to a source passage, the model never writes a financial number, and the engine is graded against real transactions.

  • Founded the company and set its thesis: AI applied to the deal itself — diligence, underwriting and value creation — with verification built in so an investment committee can act on the output.

Greetly.ai

Founder and Product Lead San Francisco Bay Area
Jan 2023 – Present

An AI college-admissions counselor for high-school students, built for the 98% of families who can't afford a private one. Every recommendation is grounded in verified data rather than model recall — admissions statistics for 1,500+ colleges, per-school admit rates, and a deterministic chancing engine where the math decides and the AI explains.

  • Founded the company and set its product direction: grounding-first AI counsel, a student roadmap and story layer, and a marketplace where human counselors and near-peer mentors work on top of the AI.
  • Own the financial strategy — cash burn, runway and fundraising — and deliver the investor and school presentations.
  • Lead design and development, and work directly with students and families to fold their feedback into the product.
