Business Strategy
B.S. Computer Science with a Business minor at Hardin-Simmons University. Combining software engineering, analytics, and business thinking to build systems that drive measurable results.
About Me
Who I Am
Born in India, raised in Melbourne, and shaped by Toronto — I've lived across three continents before turning 23. I'm currently finishing my B.S. in Computer Science with a Business minor at Hardin-Simmons University in Texas (4.0 GPA, Presidential Scholar), having transferred from McMaster University's Software Engineering program (3.5 GPA, Dean's List 4x, Engineering Scholar).
Education
My academic path spans two universities and two countries. At McMaster, I studied Software Engineering and made the Dean's List four times while serving as a First Year Representative on the Engineering Society. At HSU, I'm combining CS with business coursework in corporate finance, M&A, and analytics — bridging the gap between technical execution and strategic thinking.
Beyond the Code
I hold a Glider Pilot License from the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, where I spent five years rising to Flight Sergeant and Level 5 Senior Mentor. I led multi-day expeditions, taught bushcraft survival and aerial navigation, and delivered speeches at Remembrance Day ceremonies. Aviation taught me discipline, spatial awareness, and making decisions under pressure — skills that carry into every system I build.
