/vih-vayk poh-thih-nay-nee/

I'm a builder interested in Product, but more specifically at the intersection of tech, design, and people.

Currently based in NYC working at Palantir.

Born and raised in Virginia - lived in India from 2-6, and attending college in Illinois at UIUC.

Building

Spotify Collage

Web app that makes you a phone wallpaper using your favorite music from the past month through Spotify. This is very scrappy but I want to see if it can go somewhere.

Chaticle

Chrome extension that provides a summary and lets you research an article on the news page itself. This was my first project and was a basic GPT wrapper, but led to a lot of cool cold emails and opportunities.

Seeken

Insert a podcast link and have access to detailed info on the books, people, and companies mentioned. Latest unfinalized project that I did with my 3 roommates from college. It was an excuse to actually learn database systems.

Ment

Insert a YouTube link and get a sentiment analysis through NLP of the top few hundred comments displayed by an interactive data visualization.

Can't say yet. My career interests at the moment is to work in and on Product. This allows me to do that. I've liked the company for a long time. What I'll be doing? "Mix between product manager, software engineer and strategist..." - Palantir Blog

SWE Intern @ NFCU

Got my second gig at the world's largest credit union. First time working in a bureaucratic corporate company. Learned a lot about industry standards, the nuances of frontend, and what I do & don't want. Tons of respect for what they do, but it wasn't fulfilling enough for me.

SWE & PM @ BXT Partners LLC
