I've always liked building things and seeing how they come together. I grew up casting metal sculptures, 3D printing parts, wiring electronics, flying RC planes, and experimenting with chemistry. I like the sense of cause and effect: putting something into the world, seeing it take shape, and personally experiencing/viewing the result. That same mindset drives almost everything I do now. I find satisfaction in making something that works, especially when it ends up being useful to other people.
I'm in my senior year studying finance at Indiana University. Over the past few years, between classes at IU and internships, I learned how money moves, deals come together, and how businesses handle their finances. But over time, I realized what really drew me in wasn't the numbers themselves, it was the systems behind them. The processes, tools, and technologies that make everything work is where I found my real passion. I love the markets and invest in companies I believe in, but what keeps me engaged is building: creating technology, lean teams, and systems that make things faster, smarter, and more useful.
