Problem / Opportunity

Schools in Nepal lacked access to robotics equipment and technical curriculum, and one-time donations rarely translate into programs that last beyond the initial gift.

Process & Timeline

Technical Approach

Combined equipment sourcing and logistics with a structured curriculum built for sustained use by local instructors rather than one-off workshops.

Building something
ambitious?

I'm up for conversations about technical opportunities, AI and data projects, early-stage startups, research collaborations, product experimentation, and mission-driven technology.

I'm always interested in thoughtful people, difficult problems, and ideas worth building.
