At Marvi, I built 5 of 12 AI agents for D2C brands, translating business workflows across catalog management, revenue, finance, fulfillment, inventory forecasting and customer support into product features. I also owned website requirements, launch, analytics and SEO/AEO/GEO, and helped sign 6 paying clients.

At Capital-A, I screened 500+ startups, ran technical diligence on 20+, and supported due diligence on 4 deals. I also developed semiconductor research and an investment thesis, and supported portfolio GTM strategy and AI roadmaps.
