Experience

Arvam.ai

Founder San Francisco Bay Area
Jul 2026 – Present

Arvam is an AI operating system for mid-market private equity. It covers the whole life of an investment: finding AI-driven value in diligence, delivering it inside portfolio companies, verifying the result with each company's finance team, and proving it at exit. Large sponsors such as Blackstone build this capability in house. Arvam gives mid-market funds the same advantage. Every figure it produces is traced to its source document, no financial number is written by the model, and the engine has been tested against real transactions.

  • Founded the company and set its thesis: AI applied to the deal itself, from diligence through underwriting to 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

Greetly is an AI counselor and tutor for high school students, built for the families who cannot afford a private one. It guides college admissions with advice grounded in verified data rather than model recall: admissions statistics for more than 1,500 colleges, admit rates by high school, and a chancing engine in which the math decides and the AI explains. It tutors students on their own schoolwork, and it runs a marketplace where human counselors and near-peer mentors work alongside the AI.

  • Founded the company and set its product direction, including the grounded approach to AI counsel, the tutoring whiteboard, the student roadmap and story tools, and the counselor marketplace.
  • Manage the financial strategy, including cash burn, runway and fundraising, and present to investors and schools.
  • Lead design and development, and work directly with students and families to build their feedback into the product.
