Founder at Myco Engine building Mushroom Agronet to automate mushroom supply-chain workflows with AI-assisted software.

Message

At Myco Engine, I founded a company developing AI-assisted technology solutions for the mushroom industry. I spearheaded Mushroom Agronet to improve supply-chain workflow automation, including workflows for inventory management, laboratory reporting, and farmer-buyer communication.

As an independent finance professional, I’ve supported investment banking, financial modeling, and equity research. I’ve also conducted business valuations and delivered online finance training.

At Envestnet, I led a 25-member team of financial analysts working in wealth-management product management and business analysis. My work included corporate actions such as M&A, stock splits, and spin-offs, as well as related research.

Earlier, I evaluated early-stage startups at Ankur Capital and appraised corporate credit proposals at Federal Bank. I began my career as a Software Engineer at HCLTech, contributing to IT delivery and completing UNIX security testing in PAM for client EMC.
