I came to the U.S. on an F-1 visa with one suitcase and no roadmap. Years later, I'd shipped on the iPhone 15 launch at Apple, worked on AI GPU infrastructure at NVIDIA, built statistical models for Tesla's drive units that drove $100M+ in cost savings, and the U.S. government awarded me an EB-2 National Interest Waiver green card for my work in AI and entrepreneurship. I earned two master's degrees from Carnegie Mellon University and I'm now finishing my MPA at Harvard Kennedy School, concentrating in AI & Technology. Across all of this, I've been a builder in AI — not a passenger. I worked on AI infrastructure at NVIDIA, AI products at Apple, founded two AI companies (Aware.ai and Demystifyd), and used AI-native marketing to drive 72 million organic views for Aware.ai. When I coach you, I'm not bringing a generic playbook. I'm bringing how this stuff actually gets built and how it'll shape careers over the next decade. I coach one kind of client: ambitious international students and immigrants navigating the F-1 → H-1B → green card career arc into elite tech, top graduate programs, and AI-era careers. I'm not an immigration attorney. I'm the strategist who's actually walked this — through three of the most scrutinized companies on the planet, two top graduate schools, and a green card most international professionals consider unreachable. I help clients make career decisions that keep every visa door open, build narratives that win at top MBA/MPA/MS programs, and position themselves for sponsoring tech roles before the visa cliff arrives. The current immigration climate makes this harder than it's been in years. That's exactly why this work matters now. I'm also the founder of Demystifyd, a career platform serving 2,000+ international students across 38 countries — the scaled version of this mission. My coaching is the high-touch tier, where I personally work with a small number of clients per cohort on the highest-stakes parts of their journey. I don't take everyone. I work with people who are serious about their U.S. future, willing to do the hard introspection, and aiming high. If that's you, book a free 30-minute consult. I'll be happy to hear your story and see where I can help.
