01 — About the subject

My days are diplomacy.
My nights are astrophysics.

I'm fourteen years old, chronically over-committed, and fairly sure sleep is a scheduling problem rather than a biological one.

I split my time between Model UN committee rooms and the kind of physics rabbit holes that don't come up in the Grade 9 syllabus — right now, a theoretical spacecraft concept using fusion acceleration and particle accelerators to push toward a meaningful fraction of light speed for interstellar travel.

I'm also building in public: Aspire.AI started as a way to help students turn raw ideas into real, working projects instead of just another slide deck, and that same instinct now runs through my work as a co-founder, a NASA Citizen Scientist on light transit data, and Chief of Design in F1 in Schools.

When I'm not doing any of that, I'm writing on Medium about AI and computer science, drafting a fantasy series, learning why my microcontrollers keep breaking, or playing FIDE-rated chess.

Co-Founder

LunitiAI

I'm building an AI co-founder for early-stage builders — running the difficult, unglamorous tasks so founders can focus on structuring the actual startup.

May 2026 — Present

Writer

Medium

I write on the intersection of AI and computer science — LLMs applied to research workflows and technical presentation, with a bias toward original, tech-driven ideas over surface-level takes.

May 2026 — Present

Founder

Aspire.AI

An AI-powered platform for students — opportunity discovery, holistic profile building, and turning raw ideas into shipped work.

Feb 2026 — Present

Vice President

YouthRise Foundation

I guide initiatives focused on youth development and well-being — stress awareness and personal growth — and help coordinate programs and strategic decisions across the organization.

Aspire.AI

An AI-powered platform I built for students, helping them turn raw ideas into real, working projects. It supports learning, creativity, and problem-solving through AI tools designed to help students build faster and develop future-ready skills.

LunitiAI

An AI co-founder I'm building for early-stage founders — handling the difficult operational tasks of running a startup while the founding team focuses on structure and strategy. Currently pre-launch and building out a waitlist.

Interstellar Spacecraft Concept

My independent, theoretical study into a fusion-accelerated spacecraft using particle accelerators to target velocities approaching half the speed of light — a personal research interest I explore alongside competition work.

Team Velora

A student-led group I help drive that competes across a range of competitions — from innovation challenges to STEM events. We finished among the top 6 of over 150 teams at the Curtin University Dubai STEM Competition.

Falcon Motorsports — F1 in Schools

I'm the Chief of Design on Falcon Motorsports, our competitive F1 in Schools team — owning the car's design language, CAD direction, and the visual identity the team races under.

Light Transit Research

I contribute as a NASA Citizen Scientist, analyzing light transit data — reading dips in stellar brightness for the signatures of passing worlds — as part of ongoing observational astronomy work.

Untitled Fantasy Series TBA

A world where the magic system runs on and the protagonist absolutely does not — a full fantasy series, currently being drafted. Details sealed until release. Hover if you must; the ink is classified.

Got an idea to pitch?
I gotchu.

I'm always open to conversations about AI, research collaborations, Model UN, or the next competition worth losing sleep over.
