Co-founder, Outfitr · CS + ML @ UCSD Shipped my first app at 16. AWS SWE Intern at 18. Now, building the social layer for fashion.
I'm building Outfitr — wardrobe-first social fashion that plans what to wear today from clothes you already own.
Before this, I co-founded NomNom, a dining-hall delivery marketplace for UCSD's ~40k students, building both the student and rider apps before UCSD admin shut us down. This was my most public failure, and it taught us that consumer products that depend on institutional permission are fragile. That is why Outfitr starts with personal wardrobes first, then brings in friends for the social layer.
Last summer, I was a Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern on the AWS Hyperplane team, and I'll be returning this coming summer.
I'm a second-year Computer Science major and ML researcher at University of California San Diego, where I'm working with the Alternative Computing Technologies Lab and the Statistical Visual Computing Lab (SVCL).
I also build for public impact: NyaayWatch turns Indian court-system snapshots into public evidence surfaces, and ShareAllBooks was a UAE book-sharing app featured in national press that reached 2K+ downloads and 1,500+ book transactions.
Through Triton Software Engineering, I build full-stack features for the David Brower Center using TypeScript, React, Node.js, Prisma, and Postgres.

Building now
Co-founder · public waitlist live · internal TestFlight beta · summer 2026 iOS launch

Prior work
Co-founder · Built student + rider apps · Sep 2025 – Mar 2026
Two-sided dining-hall delivery marketplace for UCSD's ~40k students. Built and shipped both the student and rider apps. Shut down by UCSD administration — taught us that products requiring institutional permission don't scale, which directly shaped Outfitr's consumer-first distribution strategy.
2K+ installs · 1,500+ book transactions · featured in UAE national press
Founded and shipped a book-sharing app for the UAE, App Store + Play Store. Handled auth, real-time database, and transactional email end-to-end.
Public-interest · Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, every state & UT · NJDG-sourced · Reproducible snapshots
Publishes reviewed, versioned snapshots of pending caseloads, clearance rates, and wait times across India's Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, and the lower courts in every state and Union Territory — drawn from public NJDG data with full methodology, every number linked to a dated source.
Also built
GitHub commit analytics — dedup'd SHA tracking, branch/PR activity, OAuth.
Nonprofit relationship-mapping platform with Triton Software Engineering.
Mental-health mobile app for underserved communities, 12-person TSE team.
Personal Oura Ring data pipeline — GitHub Actions, trend charts, daily status.
I work across the stack with TypeScript, Java, Python, and C++. On the frontend I build with React, React Native, and Next.js. My backend toolkit includes Node.js, Express.js, Prisma, and Fastify. I'm comfortable across databases — PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firestore, and MySQL. For cloud and infrastructure I work with AWS, Firebase, Vercel, Stripe, and Git, with mobile deployment experience through Expo.
Focused on Outfitr's iOS launch Open to conversations with investors, retail partners, and early users of Outfitr.
