About Me

Finance professional
who builds things.

Asset operations, structured finance, and automation — building systems that eliminate inefficiencies.

I'm a B.Com (Foreign Trade) student at PSG College of Arts & Science, Coimbatore — final year, CGPA 9. Since December 2025 I've been working as an Asset Operations Intern at BetterInvest, a fintech platform that finances film and media productions.

My work sits at the intersection of structured finance, legal documentation, and operational automation. I don't just execute processes — I spot inefficiencies and build systems to eliminate them using Python and Google Apps Script.

Outside of work, I run Capital Story — a financial newsletter with 1,300+ subscribers on LinkedIn — invest actively in Indian equities (a habit from 10th standard paper trading), and build operations tools for my cloud kitchen venture Crave Collective.
