About and awards

I study electrical engineering and applied math at UMass Amherst (2025–2029). In 2024 I co-founded AmpiereLabs with Hishaam Abdul Razik, Gautam Binu and Shahzaib Ahmed. We make SlateFront and WellSpace.

Since high school I’ve wanted to be an embedded systems engineer, making things like biosensors, where medicine and technology meet. I’m drawn to quant work and semiconductors too.

I make small scripts for family and friends. My India-map practice apps are still used by 10th graders in CBSE schools. I finished school at GEMS Our Own High School, Dubai, in 2024, where I was the Innovation Captain and led the school robotics team. I also did karate.
