Founder, Sheldon AI | Los Angeles, CA

Mar 2025 – Present

Launching an AI agent hub built for students to tackle college-level tasks.

  • Empowers students with AI tools that guide lab report drafting and math solutions via auto-scores & multi-model consensus, delivering accurate, formatted outputs on demand.

  • Built an AI-native engineering culture within my team of freelancers - shipped code end-to-end in Cursor + Windsurf, utilized Veo3/Sora as Graphic Designers, AI tools for Legal services, and agentic workflows for SEO and Influencer Management.

  • Scaled a UGC-focused founder circle to drive viral, student-oriented content.

Lead Consultant & Product Manager, Genentech × TCF | San Francisco, CA

Apr 2025 – Present

Working on a pilot with secured funding from Genentech/Roche Children's Walk for AI assisted learning in collaboration with the largest network of NGO schools in Pakistan, The Citizen's Foundation.

  • With the aim to access and adoption - brought Children Walk board's attention to the lack to access/ adoption of AI within rural and underpriviladged schools in Pakistan along with the benfits of purely providing access + demos.

  • Onboarded The Citizen's Foundation as the operational partner in providing access to digital intelegence to their 2,000+ campuses nationally.

  • As the Ed-Tech partner - working on AI products in collaboration with The Citizens Foundation to boost adoption among students for in /out of class use cases.


Data Science Intern, Maiden Century | Manhattan, NY
