At RIZZUME, I co-founded an AI career platform that matches candidates to roles without traditional ATS screening and grew it to 10,000+ users. I also launched multi-agent AI pipelines that publish daily job drops and market insights, saving 40+ hours of manual work per week.

At Rise Media, I led market entry for Fair Sky Partners across four regulated iGaming markets, lifting user acquisition 30% through localized, compliant funnels. I also ran international marketing for Will Smith's Pole to Pole series, generating 11K+ audience reviews.

At ZOTAC Technology, I led India and South Asia marketing with NVIDIA GeForce teams and drove 4.3M+ YouTube views for the RTX 50 Series launch through creator collaborations. Earlier, I produced Fortnite tournaments for Epic Games and built esports and community programs with brands including NVIDIA, Dell Alienware and Lenovo Legion.
