About 

I am a 2020 B.Arch. graduate from Syracuse University School of Architecture. While in university, I was on a full-tuition five-year merit-based International Trustee Scholarship. I graduated in May 2020 with honors and a minor in real estate management. I have recently conducted my undergraduate thesis with a $3000 research grant. In the past, I have researched and written a book titled “Baolis of Delhi” on a monument typology in New Delhi as an effort to bring about awareness of a forgotten and deteriorating indigenous architecture.

The realities of intensified urbanity in New Delhi and New York have conditioned me to work towards architectural systems that facilitate variances in human experience. My experience with architectural data processing practices has given me an edge with architecture’s large scale facilitation within the metropolitical realm.

My drive to develop efficient and intricate design systems permeates into my work approach, enabling me to find innovative solutions to complex problems and work effectively with teams. My pragmatism towards professional execution has guided my development within the fields of real estate and entrepreneurial business, as well as advanced architectural systems. 

My education, paired with extended experience in construction administration, grounds me within the real world facilitation of architecture as a profession.
