Leadership & public service

Student Body Treasurer at RUSA. I oversee a $3.5M+ student-fee budget. Most of the job is reading funding requests, watching the spending, and making the numbers visible so people aren't guessing.

In SAS Senate I sit in University Senate and chair the caucus. A lot of it is herding people toward a vote, not writing speeches.

Also treasurer at BridgeRutgers, co-lead of the alto saxophone section for the Marching Scarlet Knights, and team captain for Rutgers Taekwondo.

At Treasury I write Python against real state databases. If it works, someone in Trenton has a shorter Tuesday.

About

I grew up in Bridgeton, NJ. I'm studying CS and Economics at Rutgers because I like building things people actually use.

At the State Treasury I write software for coworkers who manage public money and statewide assets. The work is building tools that help real users: automating workflows, syncing data, shipping programs people can run without waiting on a manual fix every week.

BillBuddy was the same idea on a 48-hour clock. We placed 3rd of 53 at the IBM Datathon. That's the team in the photo.

RUSA is public service. As student body treasurer I focus on student advocacy: reviewing funding requests, keeping fee spending visible, and making sure orgs get a fair hearing. Different job from Treasury, same goal of building something people can rely on.
